Hampton Shelter For Power-dependent Medical Needs

In light of power outages occurring in various parts of the city, Bethel High School opened at 1:00 p.m. to shelter and provide electrical power for individuals with power-dependent medical needs.

Power-dependent medical needs include, but are not limited to, oxygen generators, gastric feeding pumps, and nebulizers.

Residents should note that this site is not in a position to provide direct medical care. If the individual has a caretaker, the caretaker should come with them.

Individuals coming to the shelter seeking electrical power for their medical needs should bring all of their necessary medications with them.

Bethel High School is located at 1067 Big Bethel Road.
