It took half day of talks, explanations and persuasion to evacuate my friend's stubborn babushka from zone A. -- Done now!

hey

Thanks WNYC for the map and all the Irene coverage! Invaluable.

So, is there a number the elderly or disabled can call if they need assistance evacuating? And has the National Guard been called out to assist with that? If so, it should be publicized. if not, it should be done.

like somebody else here, my mom is on a zone border, but its a transition from zone a to zone c, just across the street.

so, from the worst to flooding only in a cat 3 or 4 on a direct hit, and its not uphill across the street. so, should she evacuate? what would you do?

i live in a zone B in bkyln, is it neecessary to evacutae or i can just stay?

Zone B, but if I cross the street it becomes Zone C, lol.

i live in zone c(west side of bronx) kind of shaded with zone b.......only evacutions needed for zone A??? should i go anyway??

one would think listeners could read too -
first - the map says NYC evacuation zones -Wchester and NJ are not part of NYC.

second -These evacuation zones have been ordered by the Mayor of NYC - Mr Bloomberg has no authority to order evacuations in Westchester or NJ

lastly - thanks WNYC - while it is the new entitlement mentality that anyone who helps a little has to be berated for not fulfilling every entitlement wish - you did a good service and gosh, those that are missing their wish list items will just have to google a little bit harder all on their own.

WNYC, what would I do without you? Many thanks for the map - I'm in ZoneB. All the best to all those in the danger zone.

Thank you WNYC.... So glad to learn I am across the street from being in Zone A....... Have been a sustaining member for years.... The Hurricane help just one more reason it's my pleasure to be that. Thank you again :)

Just great...
Its all global warmin, Im tellin ye!

Is there a mandatory evacuation of Long Beach, N.Y.?

I've heard that homebound elderly are being transported, anyone know how I can have that arranged?? I've called 311 but it's busy and the elderly lives right by the beach.

Only 2 evacuation centers for all of lower Manhattan!? Good luck with that.

Why, when the entire island has a zone A border, is Staten Island never mentioned in the boroughs that could be affected by Irene?

Zone B (barely) floor space for rent. Depending on Height, Weight and Girth. Extra for dogs. No pitt bulls.

Ummmmmm, rude.

dallas: I don't think the colorblind should be excluded from being able to read evacuation maps.

Thanks for the map. But sorry to see that the Key covers sections of the city.

are you all color blind?! It is pretty clear that they are different colors.

altho I know what zone I live in, zone c-- thank goodness not in zone a-- however, I agree with others commenting about the color coding system. two of the colors are so close in color, it is hard to discern which is which. Perhaps this could be improved next time. Hopefully there won't be a next time, but one never knows. Stay safe to all... no matter what zone you live.

You are not nuts - the color coding choices are terrible!

... if you separate out the the yellow or 'orange" and try to compare it to the key, it's hard to determine where the hell you fall!

Maybe I'm nutz!!

Someone help me out, here!

Why would you design this thing with similar colors??

The difference between, "Get the Hell Outta Dodge" and "Have Another Beer" is barely perceptible!!!

DUMB!

RE: DUDE

Because this is an NYC Map made by New York City public radio.

How come New Jersey is not included in this map?

DONT BE NERVOUS GATOR....I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOUR TOES

Well done, WNYC. Thank you for posting the evacuation zone map. The NYC.GOV site is swamped, so having additional sources is great.

Now, can you post tips on the cheapest place to buy a canoe? or a gondola?

I hope Chelsea/Manhattan will not be flooded. I love to get back and work on Monday!

I hope that Westchester (Larchmont) DOES NOT get affected. I do not want to get out of my house and evacuate

Great map. But am I to assume that your listening area doesn't extend beyond the 5 boros? Extend the map to Westechester, Long Island and New Jersey! The hurricane's going to affect those places too!

Is the UES in danger? Manhate'in East 85th Street and 1st et 2d Avenbue? ;-)
