St. Johns County public schools that meet current hurricane shelter standards serve as evacuation shelters during hurricanes. If possible, stay with friends or family or at a hotel outside the evacuated areas, as shelters are meant to be a last resort.
Note that the school closest to your home may not necessarily be an evacuation shelter.
Keep updated on shelter availability during evacuation orders by checking the county’s website, social media, local radio or television stations, or by contacting the Department of Emergency Management at 904-824-5550.
