Shelters and direction signs.

Brevard County strongly urges that a Public Shelter be used ONLY AS A LAST RESORT. You will be more comfortable sheltering with friends, family or in commercial lodging. If you require Public Sheltering, please be familiar with your designated Primary Evacuation Shelter location and your planned route to that shelter. Shelter Route Signs have been posted to assist you.
