The following shelters are designated as official hurricane shelter locations by the Department of Emergency Management. You should try to evacuate to the home of a friend or family member outside of the Evacuation Area. A shelter should be your refuge of last resort if you have absolutely no where else to go.
Not every site will open for every evacuation, so please monitor the local radio and / or TV station, or contact the Department of Emergency Management at (904) 824-5550 to find out which Shelters are open when an evacuation order is given.
