A coastal community is drafting a plan in case of a hurricane. Which action is an appropriate element for an effective plan?

An effective hurricane plan should identify multiple evacuation routes for each area so residents have alternatives if a road is blocked or unsafe. Relocating everyone who might be affected is not a practical planning action, and the locations of fire hydrants are not the key information needed for evacuation. Mapping areas not affected by storm surge is less useful than identifying routes residents can take to reach safety.
