Homeless
Broward County residents who do not have a permanent home or place of safety to reside are especially vulnerable during emergencies, such as a hurricane.
When a hurricane warning is announced and a mandatory evacuation order is issued, Broward County Transit (BCT) buses will offer evacuation transportation from three assigned pick-up points to four homeless shelters in the north, south and central portions of the County. Transportation will continue until sustained winds reach 35 miles per hour.
