Conditions the tool cannot determine
Structural safety
Cracks, shifting, gas odor, flood undermining, fire, or official restrictions require professional and local guidance.
Air contamination
Chemical releases, smoke, carbon monoxide, and biological hazards require hazard-specific instructions and working detection where applicable.
Medical suitability
Temperature, power, oxygen, refrigeration, mobility, and caregiver needs can make a nominal shelter unusable.
Public shelter status
Openings and capacity change. Use official local channels, the FEMA App, or the Red Cross—not an old saved list.
Planner references
Shelter guidance and product instructions can change. Recheck official sources and follow local authorities, emergency services, and current manufacturer instructions.
Shelter planner FAQ
Does FlintReady save my selections?
No. The tool runs in the browser and does not store or transmit the selections.
Can it tell me whether my building is structurally safe?
No. Leave immediate hazards and follow fire, utility, building, and emergency-management instructions.
Should I print the result?
Yes. Add local contacts, routes, medical requirements, pet arrangements, and the conditions that trigger relocation.
