The American Red Cross has set up a host shelter for Hurricane Isaac evacuees leaving the affected area along Interstate 10.
The host shelter will be located at:
East Brent Baptist Church
4801 North Davis Highway
Pensacola, FL 32503
A new, helpful preparedness tool is the free Red Cross Hurricane App which puts real-time, hurricane safety information at your fingertips. The app features information on Red Cross shelters, as well as a toolkit with a digital flashlight, strobe light and alarm. The Hurricane App can be downloaded free of charge in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for “American Red Cross.” Individuals can use the free Red Cross Hurricane App for the location and driving directions.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation’s blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
