2. Do you live in an evacuation zone?

3. Do you know where the public shelters are located?

Santa Rosa County does not have any hurricane shelters south of Interstate 10 because that area is the area of greatest risk. This is not only because of storm surge or wind damage but also the possibility of roads and areas becoming impassable or inaccessible for emergency services being able to reach you.

4. Do you have special needs or vulnerabilities?

Make sure you have a plan and if you need to go to the Special Needs Shelter, you must be pre-registered. You can register online, by phone or by mail.

5. Do you need to go to the Pet-Friendly Shelter?

Make sure you have your pet pre-registered and understand the procedures for the pet-friendly shelter. You must stay at the shelter with your pet.
