Shelter Map For Polk County (Central Florida)
Note: As of right now, none are open that I'm aware of. There are contact numbers on the map to see which shelters are open and there will be limited space in special need and pet friendly shelters.
Not all public shelters are automatically activated for each emergency. They are opened as needed and are not pre-assigned by geographic area. During an emergency please monitor Polk County Government Television, other local television and radio stations for open shelter information. Have your 72-hour survival kit ready to take with you. Weapons and alcoholic beverages are not allowed at any public shelter.
Again, do not proceed to a shelter in Polk County until you are sure it is activated.
“Weapons...are not allowed at any public shelter.”
You must be a helpless sheeple to use this facility.
