Community disaster shelter information

Alamance County is prepared to activate a community disaster shelter if the need arises.

A community disaster shelter is not a warming shelter. Warming shelters are typically run by faith-based facilities and other community organizations, dial 211 for health and human service needs.

The call to activate a community disaster shelter is based on real-time conditions. These can be widespread power outages, water outages, and other factors. If these develop, Alamance County will coordinate with all other municipalities to share the information on activation of the community disaster shelter and its location. Fairchild Community Center in Burlington has been used in the past.
