Open only when announced
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 town does not publish a standing list of shelters. Shelters open only when officials announce them, so do not go to a site until it is announced as open. Check town and county alerts and the Burlington County page.
