As Hurricane Dorian approaches, don’t wait until the last minute
It’s that time of year again: Hurricane Season.
With the first potential Hurricane to hit Florida this coming Monday, WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CONTACT THEIR LOCAL REGISTRATION OFFICE TO FIND OUT WHAT PROVISIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR PERSONS REQUIRED TO REGISTER IN YOUR COUNTY AND SHARING THAT INFORMATION IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST.
THE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR YOUR COUNTY REGISTRATION OFFICE CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/Documents/REREGISTRATIONLOCATIONS.pdf
Remember, if you plan to evacuate your residence for three or more days, you will have an obligation to register, IN PERSON, wherever you are staying as a temporary residence within 48 hours before evacuating. You should also ensure that your expected evacuation location does not run afoul of any sex offender residency restrictions (SORRs) or you could expose yourself to arrest for simply being there.
Emergency evacuations are MUCH, MUCH more complicated for someone on the registry than anyone else. Please do not wait until the last minute to make your plans. Please check to see if your county’s information has already been updated in the comments before calling.

SEMINOLE: Per Seminole County Felony Registration, if you are not on probation, you can use any available shelter. However, you must identify yourself as a registered sex offender/preditor as soon as you walk in. They will process you and isolate you from everyone else. Pretty much, everyone will know after it’s all over.
Another option is to go to the designated shelter at the Seminole County Courthouse on 17-92 across from the sheriff’s office. It is a designated shelter for SO’s and felons, so you do not have to announce yourself as a registered citizen. In both cases, you may bring your spouse/kids to the shelter with you.
ST JOHNS – if you respond to a shelter, you MUST identify yourself as a sexual predator or sexual offender upon check-in. You will be provided a blue wristband you MUST wear at all times while inhabiting the shelter. You will be directed to a designated area of the shelter and your FDLE flyer will be posted in the common area of the shelter.
ST JOHNS –
The only approved shelter for SOs is:
Pedro Menendez High School
600 State Road 206 West
St Augustine
SOs are required to have identification and will be placed in a separate area of the shelter.
PASCO – Wiregrass Ranch High School in Wesley Chapel.
BROWARD – CAN go to emergency shelters, just announce your presence
GADSDEN – Registrants on probation can go to the county jail for shelter. No provisions being made for those not on probation.
