You Can Provide Sunshine in Stormy Weather

When a Category One or Category Two hurricane shows up, the personal storm is just as bad for evacuees who must leave home without knowing what will happen.

There’s no place like home, but your caring soul might be the next best thing.

When you volunteer as a Shelter Is Golden Host, everything is up to you:

  • Our Enrollment Form lets you determine the age and gender of who you shelter
  • You can shelter as many people as you want…or as few
  • If you can shelter pets, the breed, gender, size, and age are yours to decide
  • You specify what your Guest must bring with them
  • You meet your Guest before any emergency, and can find out whatever you need to have peace of mind
  • Your Sheltering Arrangement won’t last longer than the emergency
  • If additional questions arise, we’ll get the answers
  • Your Guests are screened in advance, and the deal’s off if you don’t like them (except during the actual emergency)

Your personal preferences determine who you help…

As long as you follow Shelter Is Golden procedures (which are basic common sense), you're protected from liability for the people you shelter under Florida’s “Good Samaritan” law.
