Hurricane Dorian Shelters
September 01, 2019
Evacuation Shelters are a refuge of last resort and should only be considered if you NEED to evacuate and have NO OTHER OPTIONS. If you can safely shelter in place, stay with friends or family, or stay in a hotel, it is recommended that you do so.
What Should You Bring to a Shelter?
- Air mattress, blankets, pillows or other bedding
- Food and water
- Personal items
- Medications and first-aid supplies
- Important papers
- Games, toys and books
- Flashlight and batteries
- Additional safety, hygiene or comfort items that may not be listed
Things to Consider:
- A caregiver must accompany any individual requiring more than basic supervision or assistance
- Meals are not guaranteed and individuals with special dietary needs should bring their own food
