2009 Shelter List

If you plan to evacuate to an emergency shelter, keep in mind that specific shelter openings will be announced according to the severity and circumstances of the storm. All shelters are not open during every storm. Stay tuned to your local media or contact the Clay County Division of Emergency Management at (904)284-7703 to find out which shelters are open in your area.

A shelter is a refuge of last resort. The environment can be challenging. Take water, nonperishable food and the necessary clothing, emergency supplies and medications adequate for you and your family for at least 72 hours. Don’t forget blankets, bedding, books, flashlights and quiet games for your children.
