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.
