Many towns and cities have ordered evacuations along the shoreline and inland areas that are low-lying or along streams and rivers as Hurricane Irene approaches.

Here is a list of evacuations. Check back for more information as it is made available.

-Bridgeport: Officials are advising evacuations for residents living in low-lying areas along the shoreline. The University of Bridgeport has moved students to the Pitt Center at Sacred Heart University. Shelters have been established at Bassick and Harding high schools. City officials said they have the ability to open every school as a shelter.

-Derby: Mayor Anthony Staffieri ordered an evacuation of McConnie's Grove Area along the Housatonic River. McGonnie's is directly across the river from The Maples in Shelton.

-Fairfield: As a result, evacuation of residents of the Fairfield Beach neighborhood and other shoreline communities in town has been ordered. Interim First Selectman Michael Tetreau ordered mandatory evacuations to Fairfield Ludlowe High School by noon Sunday.

-Milford: A mandatory evacuation order for streets along the city's shorefront was issued by Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr. The streets include Beach Avenue and lower Merwin Avenue in Woodmont, Hillside Avenue, Point Beach Drive and adjoining streets, including Earle Street, all of the Bayview section, East Broadway, Shell Avenue, Broadway, Park Street, Ann Street, and all of the Laurel Beach neighborhood.
