LIST OF HURRICANE SHELTERS FOR 2023 Monday 19th June 2023
The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) has released the updated list of this year’s hurricane shelters
Please note that a couple of structures were taken off the previous list that was sent out at the start of the hurricane season.
Antigua and Barbuda utilizes mostly schools and churches as hurricane shelters along with a few community centres and other buildings.
NODS is reminding residents that when going to a public shelter they should take non-perishable or canned foods and water to last for at least three days, a change of clothes, bedding like sheet or blanket on which to sleep and personal hygiene items. If children are part of the family staying at a shelter, items like games, toys and reading books would be ideal. Animals are not allowed in the shelters so alternate arrangements should be made for them.
Persons staying at shelters must adhere to guidelines that have been put in place for the efficient operation of the facilities.
Public shelters are managed by a team of volunteers from the various District Disaster Committees that are part of the national disaster system coordinated by NODS.
