How can I locate evacuation routes?
All major roads exiting Baltimore City can be used as evacuation routes. The City maintains plans to funnel traffic and allow contra-flow traffic to facilitate evacuation on theses routes. During an evacuation, only a limited number of routes will be used based on the incident. Please tune into the news (WBAL 1090 AM radio is our primary alerting partner) or check our Facebook and Twitter pages to find which evacuation route to use.
