Point Fortin Borough Corporation

In times of natural disasters or emergencies, the Point Fortin Borough Corporation's Disaster Management Unit (DMU) ensures the safety and well-being of the burgesses through a network of designated emergency shelters. These shelters are strategically located across the Borough to provide temporary refuge, basic amenities, and support services to individuals and families in need. Working in close coordination with regional authorities, the DMU utilizes a systematic approach for shelter activation that begins with hazard assessment, followed by formal approval from the Emergency Operations Centre.

Once authorized, the DMU implements a tiered deployment strategy to establish appropriate shelter facilities based on incident severity and projected community needs. All shelter activations follow established protocols that include resource allocation, volunteer mobilization, and communication to affected populations through multiple channels. Community members seeking shelter assistance should contact the DMU's dedicated hotline for current information on open locations, while partner organizations must coordinate through official DMU channels to ensure integrated service delivery within the unified shelter management system.
