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 more than one evacuation route for each community area. Multiple routes give residents alternatives if flooding, debris, or damage blocks one route. Identifying areas not affected by storm surge or mapping hydrants may be useful for other purposes, but neither is as central to evacuation planning; relocating everyone in advance is not practical.
