| Shelters are a last resort!
For those whose homes are structurally sound and
have proper defenses (such as shutters), it is generally advised to
remain in your home. If you can not, it is recommended that you
stay with friends or family outside the affected area. If that is
not possible, hotels and motels are a more comfortable option than a
public shelter. If none of these options are available to you,
only then should you seek refuge at a public shelter. |

reserved for certain needs! If you
are oxygen dependent, or if you require equipment which needs
electricity to operate, you are eligible for access to the Medical Needs
Shelter. There may be other factors for each individual that will
be considered on a case by case basis, but all others requiring shelter
