Your Rights in an Emergency Shelter

Assistance Provided by CIL Jacksonville

Response Services: CIL Jacksonville can provide durable medical equipment (like canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and accessible cots) lost or damaged during the emergency. We advocate for people with disabilities in shelters to ensure equal access to all shelter activities and amenities, including communication, food, sleeping, & bedding.

Recovery Assistance: CIL Jacksonville staff members visit emergency shelters to assess the needs of people with disabilities to provide information and equipment if needed. We can also help you understand the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the American Red Cross, and other emergency services. CIL Jacksonville also helps with transitioning back home from shelters.

Florida Law Reminder for Early Prescription Refills

All health insurers, managed care organizations, and other health entities must comply with provisions of section 252.358, Florida Statutes, which allows for early prescription refills in the event the Governor issues an executive order declaring a state of emergency. This mandate remains in effect until the Governor’s executive order is rescinded or expires.
