Using Deltona shelters

Sixty percent of Volusia County’s public shelter capacity is in the Deltona area. The Deltona shelter information point (SIP) system helps evacuees easily access the sites.

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. At these sites, evacuees will receive detailed directions — in English or Spanish — 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 Disaster Preparedness Guide evacuation map.

To help you find your way in an emergency, practice driving two routes to the Deltona SIPs before a storm threatens.

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.
