Rock Creek Evacuation Map

START WITH THE BASICS

What the Map Tells You

The Rock Creek Evacuation Map is a detailed chart that shows safe zones, evacuation routes, and emergency resources for residents and visitors in the watershed. It’s updated regularly to reflect road closures, bridge conditions, and floodplain changes.

Using the map means knowing where the high‑water areas are, which roads stay open, and where shelters are located. With Clear Trail’s step‑by‑step approach, you’ll learn how to read these symbols and plan a route that keeps you and your family safe.

THE CORE BUILDING BLOCKS

Three Foundations for Safe Evacuation

Before you even grab a phone or a compass, there are three core ideas that make every evacuation plan work:

01

Visibility of Risk Areas

The map highlights flood‑prone sections in bold red, allowing you to see which streets are at risk before they become dangerous. This early warning lets you choose a safer path.

02

Clear Route Indicators

Green arrows and numbered lanes show the recommended travel directions. Following these markers keeps you on a proven, low‑risk path even if traffic is heavy.

03

Access to Resources

Icons for shelters, medical points, and water supplies let you identify support spots along the way. Knowing where help is available reduces panic during an evacuation.
