If you are looking for safe shelter from an approaching hurricane, there are public shelters you can go to for free in your local area.
Public shelters are usually located in schools, community centers, churches and other large facilities that can house many evacuees safely. Your local emergency management agency can provide specific locations of shelters near you.
Shelters will typically open once a mandatory evacuation order has been given for your area, usually within 24-48 hours before strong winds and storm surge are forecast to arrive from the hurricane. Listen to local news and authorities for precise shelter opening times.
Pack essential items like medications, toiletries, change of clothes, sleeping bag or blankets, important documents and valuables in a bag to bring with you. You may want to bring entertainment items like books if shelters provide little activity. Water and non-perishable snacks are also good to have.
Shelters usually remain open until local officials determine the hurricane threat has passed and roads are cleared for safe travel. This may be a few days if widespread power outages or flooding occurs. Listen to updates from emergency services on when it's alright to leave the shelter.
Some shelters allow pets but you need to verify this in advance. Consider making alternative arrangements for your pets if the public shelter does not accept animals, as their safety is important too during the storm.
