UPDATED: Hurricane Matthew Preparedness
PER DOC: IF YOU ARE ON PROBATION, ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE – CONTACT YOUR PROBATION OFFICER. IF YOU ARE NOT ON PROBATION, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFFS OFFICE. THERE WILL BE ACCOMMODATIONS MADE. FEDERAL PROBATION HAS NOT RESPONDED. IF YOU ARE IN SEMINOLE OR BREVARD, THE SHERIFFS HAVE OPENED SPECIFIC SHELTERS JUST FOR REGISTERED CITIZENS WHETHER ON PROBATION OR NOT.
We are scrambling to find shelter for the homeless registered citizens who are unwelcome in emergency shelters.
FAC has contacted the governor’s office to see what arrangements are being made. They referred us to the emergency management office in each county. There are too many for us to get through.
Please find your county contact in the link below and post (in the comments) what they advise for registered citizens who are homeless.

Leon county Emergency management referred me to the Sheriff’s office. When I called I was sent to voicemail..
Miami-Dade advised to go to Dade Correctional Institution
just read this now, i will call in the morning, but i’m wondering if the county is breaking the law by putting someone in jail when they have not been charged or suspected of a crime
There is no law against that.
They are not compelling people to go there.
When you click on Duval, you end up at a generic website: http://www.coj.net/departments/fire-and-rescue/emergency-preparedness.aspx. F**king useless! They have shelters for pets, but not registered citizens. Can anyone argue that we are not a sub-class of citizens???
My thoughts are with all y’all this morning. I hope everyone is safe and secure for the next couple of days. (Hopefully I will be too đ )
Orange County probation called and said that Central Florida reception center has a shelter for registered citizens. No sure if open to people not on probation
I won’t go even if ordered for several reasons been off probation for several years. I have a family I refuse to be separated from.and prison was the most traumatic experience of my life and I refuse to be traumatized again
