Evacuation centers¶

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.

Westmoreland County's public safety pages do not publish a list of shelters. Check Everbridge alerts and county announcements to learn whether any shelter is open. Do not go to a site until it is announced.
