All Shelters

Pet Friendly Shelters
For FEMA to provide post-disaster assistance funds to a County, that County is required to have a Pet Shelter available.
Please utilize Pet Shelters as you last choice, our recommendations of alternative choices are:
1st Choice – A pet-friendly relative or friend's house that's out of the evacuation area.
2nd Choice - The next best place to go is a pet-friendly hotel or motel that's out of the evacuation area.
If the first two options won't work for you, our next suggestion is to find a pet-friendly emergency shelter in your area. Click here for a link that will provide information about how to plan for pets during a hurricane and provide information about Pet Shelters in your county.
Special Needs Shelters
A Special Needs Shelter provides more care and supervision than a general shelter to help meet your special needs during an evacuation. To the extent possible under emergency conditions, the Special Needs Shelter will provide a safe sheltering environment and basic assistance to maintain your level of health.
