Please contact your local Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for the most up-to-date information.

Hancock County

Mississippi 607: Goes through the NASA preserve. Could be taken north to Interstate 59.

Mississippi 43: Begins in Waveland and from which Mississippi 603 branches north of Kiln. Will take residents to I-59.

Interstate 10: Go west on I-10 and take I-59 north at Slidell, LA., or I-12 west to Baton Rouge, LA. Official advise against going to New Orleans to ride out a hurricane.

Harrison County

U.S. 49: Major northward evacuation route.

Mississippi 67: Meets U.S. 49 at Saucier. Can help evacuees avoid traffic congestion.

Mississippi 15: Heads north from the I-10 and I-110 interchange, meets Mississippi 26 which heads west to Wiggens on east to Lucedale.

Jackson County

Mississippi 57: Runs north from Ocean Springs and crosses Mississippi 26 and intersects U.S. 98, which runs north to Hattiesburg.

Mississippi 63: Runs north from Moss Point to Lucedale but becomes a two-lane road as it leaves Jackson County. This bottleneck could slow evacuation traffic.

Interstate 10: Runs out of the county to the east toward Mobile, AL. Unless the hurricane is headed west of Jackson County, Mobile is not the best area toward which to evacuate. However, highways north to Montgomery and Tuscaloosa can be reached by going through Mobile.
