Florida Company Offers Private Plane Hurricane Evacuations for Families, Pets
The West Palm Beach company assigns each member a departure airport, taking them—and even their pets—to safety.
A Florida-based private evacuation company, PriorityEvac, is offering families and individuals a guaranteed seat on a flight out of the state during hurricane season. The service costs $1,250 per person annually, with pet accommodations available for an additional fee. Members are assigned a departure airport and notified through multiple channels when a storm meets predefined activation thresholds.
The company, headquartered in West Palm Beach, has seen a steady stream of sign-ups since launching and anticipates supporting around 5,000 members during its first year. PriorityEvac routes evacuation flights to Atlanta, where members can find extensive lodging and transportation options. However, as the 2026 hurricane season appears less active than average, residents are advised not to become complacent, as it only takes one storm to make the season impactful.
