Emergency Shelters
Shelter Tips
Not all shelters will open for every situation! Which shelters are opened will depend on the size and timing of a storm.
Check this site for updates before finalizing your plans to make sure you only go to a shelter that is open.
Do not assume that a shelter you used in the past will be open this time.
Come prepared! Check out our list of items we recommend you bring to a shelter .
You can also view a map of the shelters that are opened during an event at our Know Your Zone site.
