In the time period during an evacuation and following a disaster there will be a great many important issues to worry about---your survival, your health, your possessions, etc. You are not going to have much worry time left to spend on how your hair looks. This is good because your hair is going to be looking bad. I'm sorry but that's just how it is. Disasters result in a loss of services needed to keep a woman's hair looking lovely. There is usually no water, or at least no uncontaminated water, to wash your hair with so it becomes dirty. Even if you somehow manage to get your hair washed there will be no power available to blow it dry or use hot rollers.
What to do? I recommend hiding. Not you but your hair. On every evacuation you should take at least one ball cap, preferably one with a big brim. If your hair is long enough pull it back into a ponytail and add one of those big headbands for additional camouflage. I have seen women who can do all these clever and cute things with scarfs twisted around their head. Unfortunately I have never mastered the scarf so I can't help you with this. I suggest finding a French woman (they are born with a scarf tying gene) and asking her for instructions. Of course the ultimate concealment for bad looking hair is undoubtedly a wig. Wigs are the quickest and easiest way to go from looking bad to looking great. Don't take my word for it. You should do your own research and visit a wig store and try some on "just for fun." If you end up buying one, or maybe even two, wigs you can justify the purchase as I did. Just say in your most serious voice, "This wig is a very necessary evacuation tool."
