Comments 0 | Recommend 0Public shelters provide temporary housing for evaucees.
Most shelters do not have beds or cots, so you will probably be sleeping on the floor. Pack as if you were going camping.
Things to bring:
- Sleeping pads or air mattresses
- Blankets or a sleeping bag for each person
- Robe and shower shoes
- Books, cards, games and quiet toys for children
- Note that alcoholic beverages, weapons and drugs are not allowed in public shelters
