Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.
The council's support locations page defines an evacuation centre as a facility set aside to provide short stay emergency accommodation for displaced residents. It says that when a location is active you can find it on the Disaster Dashboard. Do not assume any centre is open. Check the dashboard and follow official announcements.
