The Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross has launched a new way for evacuees to find shelter from the storm. The Hurricane Shelter Information Hotline can also be used for reentry and recovery information and for shelter information other than tropical events. All shelters in the county are equipped to accommodate handicapped evacuees. Visit our Special Considerations page for information about protecting your pets and Boarding. Not all public shelters are open during a disaster event.
Local officials make the decision to open shelters based on the community's needs during an event.
Please listen to local media broadcasts and to NOAA Weather Radio for announcements regarding shelter openings. Hernando County Board of County Commissioners Technology Services Department 20 North Main Street, Room 363 Brooksville, Fl.
