The Disaster Information Database Center was created to improve the management of shelters and resources for disaster operations. Included in the files below are lists of emergency shelters, contact lists, hazard information, and standard forms used in disaster operations. The files are in PDF. format, and require that Adobe Reader be installed on your computer. Other information will be posted here as the system develops.
The Google Earth Display file shows shelter locations and hazard information in the popular internet program called Google Earth (see link at bootom of page).
