Special Needs Shelters

The Seminole County Special Needs Program offers medically enhanced shelters for individuals with health or medical needs during emergencies. These shelters are designed for those who are not in care facilities and rely on electricity or medical devices to manage their conditions. While encouraged to seek shelter with family or friends first, eligible individuals can register for this voluntary program as a last resort. Participants should bring necessary items like bedding, medicine, and supplies to remain self-sufficient for 72 hours. For details on eligibility and registration, contact the Seminole County Office of Emergency Management.
