How long before a hurricane lands should you make the decision to evacuate?

It is generally recommended to decide to evacuate at least 24 to 48 hours before a hurricane makes landfall. This timeframe allows for safe travel away from the affected area, as roads may become congested and hazardous as the storm approaches. Additionally, local authorities often issue evacuation orders in advance, so staying informed through weather updates and following guidance from emergency services is crucial. Preparing ahead of time can ensure a smoother and safer evacuation process.
