Washington County, Florida Emergency Management Office Announces ‘Shelter of Last Resort’

By | September 16, 2020

A shelter of last resort will be open for Washington County residents at 680 2nd Street in Chipley beginning this evening at 6:30 PM, Wednesday, September 16, 2020. 

This shelter is not ARC certified and is not pet friendly. 

With COVID-19 concerns, we encourage residents to consider alternatives to this option. 

Shared spaces and crowded conditions can increase the COVID-19 transmission risk.

Staying in a hotel or with friends or family in an area where impacts are not expected are good options. 

Meals and cots will not be provided and there are no shower accommodations.
