Montgomery, Alabama
People wanting to escape the danger of Hurricane Helene can find plenty of evacuation routes in Alabama.
ALDOT designates at least a dozen roadways coming north or west out of Florida as hurricane evacuation routes. Emergency coordinators from ALDOT will be stationed at the Alabama Emergency Management Agency’s command center to work in conjunction with local officials and to direct resources as needed. ALDOT crews have made preparations to deal with storm-related damage as Helene moves inland. Crews across the state will remain on standby for debris removal and repairs arising from storm impacts.
Use caution on wet roads: Reduce speed, increase following distance, and avoid sudden braking or swerving.
