Shelter

The American Red Cross has set-up a shelter at the Louisville Gardens to provide sleeping cots and food to needy families who can no longer stay in their homes without power.

The shelter also will accept people who need to recharge and plug in their medical devices, such as nebulizers and sleep apnea machines. The shelter is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Three suburban government centers will also be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays to allow people to recharge their medical devices (if there is a need, the center may also be open on weekends. A decision about that will be made later this week). The government centers are:

• Southwest Government Center,  7219 Dixie Highway
• East Government Center, 200 Juneau Drive (Middletown)
• Central Government Center,  7201 Outer Loop
