Hello Chip,
I have been informed that Florida High School is the shelter arranged for
individuals with disabilities.
Also, for anyone with a non-guides/service dogs seeking a shelter, Chiles is
the pet-friendly shelter.
Be safe!

Chip,
The Lighthouse of the Big Bend is closed today and tomorrow so Yolanda may not
respond.
I would suggest finding shelters for the disabled by doing an Internet search
for your area.
Be safe everyone!

Thanks Yolanda,
Are there special shelter arrangements for those with disabilities? How/who
should be contacted if you needed to use such a shelter?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Below is a letter from Valerie Beynon, Access Coordinator with the Bureau of

Stay safe, everyone!
-Your friends at Lighthouse of the Big Bend
Good afternoon everyone,
In response to Tropical Storm Hermine in the Gulf of Mexico, the Governor has
declared a State of Emergency for the following counties:
Alachua, Baker, Bay, Bradford, Brevard, Calhoun, Citrus, Clay, Columbia, Dixie,
Duval, Flagler, Franklin, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Hernando,
Hillsborough, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lake, Leon, Levy, Liberty,
Madison, Marion, Nassau, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Putnam, Seminole, St.
Johns, Sumter, Suwannee, Taylor, Union, Volusia, and Wakulla.
For clients and customers on medications, the State of Emergency also allows
pharmacists to dispense up to a 30-day emergency prescription refill of
maintenance medication to persons who reside in an area or county listed above
and to emergency personnel who have been activated by their state and local
agency but do not reside in an area covered by this order.
Please refer to the release below for more information and a link to the
