• If at all possible make arrangement to stay with a friend or relative.
• Do not attempt to seek refuge in a shelter unless notified by authorities that it has been opened.
• Listen to advice on evacuation and leave promptly when advised to do so.
• Recognize that a public shelter's primary function is to provide a roof over your head. Food and blankets may not always be available.
• Bethel High School is our designated Pet Friendly Shelter. Other shelters are not equipped or staffed for pet sheltering. Weapons and alcoholic beverages are not allowed in a shelter. Circumstances may also require a ban on cigarettes or cigar smoking.
• Wherever you go, take provisions with you. Remember, you are not a guest, you are a refugee. Help others in a shelter any way you can.
• Shelters will be established only as an emergency and temporary means of caring for people who cannot find refuge elsewhere.
