All those registered have been called over the past several days to coordinate their arrival at the shelter.

“Even if you have not registered ahead of time, or need assistance with transportation to get there,” urged Lord, “we want you to know that you can utilize the Special Medical Needs Shelter. The shelter is ready to keep all of our most vulnerable residents safe.”

Rymfire Elementary is located at 1425 Rymfire Drive in Palm Coast.
