Storm Survival
During the storm, you and your family will either choose to shelter in place or evacuate to a nearby shelter.

If you choose to evacuate - ONLY during emergencies, residents can call 866-345-0345 for directions to a nearby shelter. For Seminole County shelters, call 407-665-0311. Since space is limited, only bring necessary supplies.

If you choose to shelter in place - Stay inside, away from windows, skylights, and glass doors. Pay close attention to the weather reports and remember that a hurricane usually comes in two phases with a brief calm in the middle. Stay inside until the storm has subsided. 
Prior to potentially dangerous storms, the City of DeBary will distribute sandbags to residents typically at City Hall (16 Colomba Road). Information on any current City sandbag distributions can be found at https://debary.org/publicsafety/page/sandbag-distribution.
