Shelter Information from the Red Cross

You can view live shelter availability information at http://app.redcross.org/nss-app/.  It is also available as an app for the iphone/ipad/ipod here:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/american-red-cross-shelter/id419258261?mt=8  
I would also ask that you encourage people to register for Safe & Well here:  https://safeandwell.communityos.org/cms/index.php.  It’s important that those affected by the storm stay in contact with loved ones and the Red Cross Safe and Well website can help them do that. Safe and Well is a secure, easy-to-use online tool to help families connect in an emergency. People can register by visiting the Red Cross web site or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
A mobile-friendly version of the Hurricane Safety Checklist is now available for smart phone users to download at www.redcross.org/mobile.
