Shelter

If an emergency situation arises where sheltering is called for, the Fishers Island School has been deemed a certified Red Cross Shelter. All workers, both managers and staff are Red Cross trained and certified. When the shelter is open, it is important to remember the following:

• No pets – the shelter is for people only. Consult your vet for proper handling.
• Bring items of necessity – medication, change of clothes, toiletries, etc.
• Bedding – pillows, blankets, sleeping bags.
• Items for small children – diapers, formulas, other supplies.
• Recreational items – these are helpful in passing the time, but should be small for ease of carrying. Remember the shelter is a shared environment, no activities should infringe on others’ rights.
• Food – the shelter will only provide food if the shelter is open more than ten (10) hours. Individuals and families should provide food to last the first ten hours.
