Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
Otherwise, replace the gas cap, and/or
Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses (you may hear a vacuum noise or smell fuel), repair if necessary. I had this happen it was a split in one of the vacuum hoses going to the charcoal canister.

yup, check the charcoal canister, and all the lines in that area, 2nd most common cause of this problem (after a bad gas cap)

I had PO445 and PO442 come up on mine. I replaced my gas cap and then when that didnt get rid of the CEL I checked my cannister, here is the link to what I found with pics.
