Staying in a Shelter

• YOUR SHELTER EXPERIENCE

  • Shelter conditions are not lavish and may not be comfortable, but you will be safe from the approaching weather.

  • You may be sleeping on the floor or on a cot for multiple days.

  • Hot meals are not guaranteed but meals and snacks will be provided.  Food choices will be limited.

  • It is possible that power may be lost at the inland facility as the storm passes.

  • Laundry facilities will not be available.

  • It may be crowded.

  • It may be hot.

  • Charging capabilities for phones and other personal devices will be very limited within your shelter.

  • If you have any questions while at the Red Cross shelter, please ask to speak with one of their staff.  Staff may be identified by their red vests.
