Mandatory Evacuation Ordered for Brick's Barrier Island Section
Evacuation was previously voluntary
Brick officials have ordered a mandatory evacuation of the township's barrier island section. The mandatory evacuation follows similar orders from Toms River and Lavallette for its portions of the island.
The evacuation order is effective immediately. Buses will be available at 7 p.m. at the Brick Beach I police substation to transport barrier island residents to Toms River North High School, a county shelter. Pets are welcome.
No other neighborhoods are contained in the evacuation order. Brick officials have issued a voluntary evacuation of residents who live in low-lying areas, or areas that are prone to flooding. The township has not listed specific neighborhoods covered under the voluntary evacuation order.

If you are in a flood zone (meaning you pay flood insurance) or are in close proximity of a tidally fowed waterway. We are strongly suggesting evacuation, but it has not been mandated by the State Office of Emergency Mgmt as was the case with the barrier island along Rte. 35
Hope this helps.

Yes, Shore Acres is probably the lowest section of town.
Streets have flooded on sunny days during high tide.

I don't want to burst anyone's bubble or give a false sense of security, this is Mother nature after all so things can change. Please use common sense and by all means do the right thing and keep yourself and loved ones safe and secure.
Check that website often and use your best judgement
