What to Bring to a Shelter
A shelter is a place of safety for those whose homes are unsafe. There is very little privacy in a Red Cross shelter, and the conditions are often crowded. If you choose to go to a shelter, take supplies with you.
• Special dietary food.
• Prescriptions.
• Baby food, diapers, other baby supplies.
• Cards, games, books, snacks.
• Clothing.
• Toiletries/personal hygiene items.
• Bedding: blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, air mattresses.
• Important papers in waterproof container (examples: insurance, wills, financial records, Social Security cards, birth/marriage/death certificates, inventory of valuable household goods, etc.)
• You may want to put these supplies in a watertight storage bin, duffel bag or backpack.
• No smoking, firearms, weapons or alcoholic beverages are allowed in Red Cross shelters.
