EVACUATION GUIDE

EVACUATION ROUTE IN THE EVENT OF A NATURAL DISASTER

CITIZENS INFORMATION CENTER (CIC) PROVIDES EMERGENCY INFORMATION

Special Needs Shelters (SNS)

During an emergency, the Citizens Information Center (CIC) will provide information ranging from evacuation procedures to shelter status. Operators will be available to help callers with specific concerns. The CIC provides emergency information without tying up emergency telephone lines or causing callers to wait for information. The CIC hotline is activated only during a disaster. The hotline telephone number is 866-345-0345.

• Provide assistance during evacuation and sheltering for people who are physically, mentally, and sensory disabled residents and those that are medically electric dependent. • Cannot accommodate complex care, 24-hour dedicated care, hospital beds, ventilators, etc. • Should be a last resort. Seek shelter with relatives, friends or in a hotel/motel first. • Are pet friendly. Contact Volusia County Animal Services for information or preparation and assistance at shelter. • Evacuees need to bring medications, medical equipment/supplies and personal items. Contact the Volusia County Emergency Management to register for the “People With Special Needs Program” and to ensure your needs can be accommodated at the special needs shelter.
