Shelter, Evacuation, Special Needs Evacuation Shelter

PASCAGOULA - East Central Community Center
(Singing River Hospital has agreed to send
doctors and nurses to staff it).

Preparations to evacuate residents who do not
have transportation is in progress. They are
planning on using school buses. Residents must
provide family and address information to the
Red Cross for transportation. The school system
will go to those locations and pick people up
and take them to the East Central High School
where the buses will take them to Red Cross
shelters. The buses will transport residents
back to Jackson County.

Residents will be limited to one load of personal
supplies, and are advised to bring necessary items
- as if they were going on a camping trip. They
are currently looking for facilities near shelters
that can be used for residents with pets. The Red
Cross does not allow pets in their shelters.
