No pets, alcohol, smoking, firearms or weapons are allowed in shelters. When a storm threatens, county emergency officials will announce plans for providing shelter for dogs and cats if you plan to use a public shelter.
Bring your own special dietary foods, baby formula, prescription medicine, insulin for diabetes and medication for heart patients, because they will not be provided.
Bring items for sleeping, such as blankets, pillows, air mattresses and sleeping bags.
Bring clothing and toiletries.
Be prepared to stay in a shelter for up to several days, depending on the severity of the storm.
