Rain & Evacuation Plans · Ocean City, Maryland

How do we know whether to shelter in place or leave town?

Answer

Follow Emergency Management and Town guidance for the specific storm; lodging staff often relay building-level instructions. Inland sheltering may be advised for some threats while full evacuation applies to others. Decide early—last-minute bridge traffic is a poor plan.
