At Red Cross shelters, Red Cross volunteers and partners provide a safe place to stay, along with meals and snacks, hydration, health services and more.
Everyone is welcome at Red Cross shelters, and anyone affected by a disaster or emergency can always stop by the shelter to access Red Cross services, whether or not they are staying overnight at the shelter.
Shelters can serve as a safe space to stay during emergencies, charge devices, pick up meals or gather information.
The Red Cross is in close contact with emergency management partners to continuously assess response needs.
Trained Red Cross volunteers and staff remain on call around-the-clock and are ready to assist in various aspects including sheltering, feeding, health services and more.
