We open up shelters as needed during certain emergencies such as large power outages, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.

Our main shelter is at the Windsor Locks High School Gym and smaller shelters are at the Town Hall and Senior Center if needed.

You can find out if a shelter is opened in town by calling 211 or the Town Hall Selectman's Office or Emergency Department.

Shelters are opened if absolutely needed. People with health issues(ie. power needed for oxygen or other reasons) should call the Emergency Department for assistance. You may also call the Windsor Locks Police Department or the Selectman's Office who will then reach the director of Emergency Management.

Shelters have rules and regulations that must be followed and are closed to visitors unless otherwise posted.
