The Division of Emergency Management and the Department of Public Safety, acting through local disaster district committees, have established hurricane evacuation routes for each of the five coastal districts. The HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE sign (EM-1aT) with a hurricane symbol should be used to mark these routes. See

Standard Highway Sign Designs for Texas

(SHSD) for sign details.

Evacuation route signs should be installed at critical intersections along evacuation routes and any other appropriate locations between intersections. The sign should be mounted under the route marker for evacuation routes on the existing support, if possible. If a sign is independently mounted as a confirmation route or with a directional arrow or a directional marker, it should be installed on an approved breakaway support.

See the page of the TxDOT website for additional evacuation route information.
