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