Belleair Shore is in an “A” evacuation zone, we are the first to evacuate.
Consult the county evacuation website for shelter locations and to see if your planned evacuation location will be safe from storm surge, visit https://pinellas.gov/evacuation-zone/. If you choose to ignore a mandatory evacuation order, you will not be forced to evacuate but be aware that emergency services will not be available during the height of the storm and possibly for hours afterward.
