What to know in Beaumont¶
- After a mandatory evacuation, the city decides re-entry case by case once it has checked conditions. There is no re-entry pass program. The city announces re-entry and any restricted areas through the media and its alerts.
- The city does not hand out sandbags routinely. When a voluntary evacuation is ordered or heavy local flooding threatens, it may offer a limited number of empty sandbags per household and will announce how to get them.
