How to Get Evacuation Transportation in Brevard County

What to have in front of you

• The notice, bill, decision, or discharge paperwork connected to the problem
• The person’s full name, date of birth, address, insurance information, and identification
• A short timeline with dates, names, phone calls, and what changed
• Copies of medical, school, financial, or care records that directly support the request

What to say when someone answers

“I have no way to transport this resident during an evacuation. I need to register the pickup address, mobility and equipment needs, caregiver, and shelter transportation request.”

Small but useful: Write down the person’s name, the date, the exact next step, and when you should call again.

Do this in order

1. 1

   Register the exact pickup address, phone numbers, mobility needs, equipment, service animal or pet, and caregiver.

2. 2

   Ask how pickup notification works and what items can travel with the person.

3. 3

   Prepare medications, medical equipment, bedding, food, identification, and a two-week medication list before an evacuation order.

4. 4

   Keep phones charged and answer unknown calls when a storm threatens; transportation staff may call to verify the need.

What happens next

The county coordinates pickup when shelters are activated and transportation is ordered. Timing depends on the incident and available vehicles.
