How to find Red Cross evacuation shelters
For those affected by Helene, the Red Cross has shelters available across impacted areas in the Southeast. They can be found by following your local Red Cross and local emergency officials on social media.
Storm victims in the Big Bend region of Florida, where Helene made landfall, can call (800) 729-3413 for assistance.
The Red Cross asks people who plan to stay in a shelter to bring items, such as prescription medications, important documents, extra clothing and special items for children or family members with special needs.
To assist the Red Cross with these efforts, donations can be made here.
