Emergency Shelters

Arrangements are in place throughout Guilford County for numerous emergency shelters, but locations are not confirmed until there is an emergency.

Emergency shelters have been established throughout Guilford County, including in the towns of Stokesdale and Summerfield. In case of a disaster, as soon as possible after an assessment has been made to verify sheltering is needed, Guilford County determines the closest safe shelter to activate and then works with public information partners to get that information out to the community in as many ways as possible.

In the event of a disaster, call the American Red Cross at (336) 333-2111 to confirm that a designated shelter in your area has been opened.
