Hurricane evacuation zones and shelters in Pasco County.

Pasco County announces which shelters are opening during times of emergency. Make sure you're signed up for alerts and checking with the county before heading to a shelter.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

According to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, it's essential for residents to know if they live in an evacuation zone, a low-lying flood-prone area, a mobile home, or an unsafe structure during the season. This is because these areas and buildings are the most likely to be evacuated.

If an evacuation order is not issued for your area and your house is not part of an evacuation zone, you could consider sheltering in place.
