The county is strongly encouraging evacuees to seek shelter at the locations on the west side of Volusia County, specifically University High School, Taylor Middle/High School, Pine Ridge High School, Deltona High School and DeLand High School.

Service will resume as soon as possible once Hurricane Matthew clears the area. Votran has para-transit services for people with special needs. They can call 756-7496.
