Using Deltona shelters

Evacuees using shelters in the Deltona area first should travel to the shelter information points (SIPs) at Deltona High School or Pine Ridge High School to receive detailed directions to the nearest open shelter.

Easy access to the SIPs is available from Maytown Road, S.R. 44, I-4 and C.R. 415. SIPs are marked clearly on the map on p.10.

Before a storm threatens, practice driving or map two routes to the Deltona SIPs. For assistance finding a shelter, please contact the Volusia County School Board at one of the telephone numbers listed on the back page.

Transportation
The Volusia County School Board and Votran will provide free rides to general public shelters. Pick up will be made at all regular Votran bus stops.
