Evacuation Shelters
REMEMBER: A shelter is a refuge of last resort, and the environment can be challenging.
Plan to bring to a shelter: ID, disaster kit, food, change of clothes, prescription medications, sleeping bag and pillow, cash and credit cards, flashlight and batteries, toiletries, important papers, important phone numbers, and quiet activities for children.
You can download the Shelter Resident Information Sheet HERE.
Know that not every shelter is open during every event. During an actual event, true shelter locations will be announced through local media and www.claycountygov.com.

Evacuation During a Storm
Reach out to family and friends outside the evacuation zone to see if they can host you. | |
Check on the availability of hotels and motels outside of the evacuation zone. | |
If you have no other option, go to a Clay County Emergency Shelter. THIS SHOULD BE A LAST RESORT. |
