During a declared disaster, some sheltering may be open to the public. Hours of shelter operation are determined by the severity of the disaster, the length of time the shelter is needed and the availability of supplies and managers to support the building.

Depending upon the type of disaster there may be other response and recovery resources available to the public. In order to determine what and where items are needed, we encourage anyone seeking shelter, sandbags, tarps or other assistance to call the Government Information Line 3-1-1.
