PINELLAS COUNTY — Residents of all ages with special needs, those without transportation, and the elderly require extra attention and preparation in order to stay protected in weather emergencies.

Please note, you are not obligated to go to a special needs shelter once registered if you have made other safe and secure arrangements.
