Sheltering During Disasters
General Sheltering
Shelters are generally the place of last resort. SCDES recommends that individuals who need to evacuate have plans already in place to stay with family, friends or in a hotel in the event of a disaster. No emergency shelter will have the amenities and flexibilities that you have at home. When planning for an evacuation, consider what aids may be needed for daily living.
