Know your routes. For instance, this is the main route out of Key West, Florida. You might want to leave at the first sign of danger to avoid traffic problems, because it’s also the only way back to the mainland.

Despite the many transportation modes available, in all likelihood, when you have to move away from dangerous situations, you’ll be using a motorized vehicle (a car, SUV, pickup, etc.). No one can tell you which of these vehicles is better, because this is a personal choice that depends on a host of different factors. The vehicle you use might just have to be the one that you have closest at hand.
The key is to make that vehicle the best and the safest it can be.
