Your Emergency Shelter Network
SHLTR locates nearby shelters for you and your vehicle during severe weather — with live alerts, real-time occupancy, and turn-by-turn navigation that works even offline.
Why SHLTR
Most shelter finders ignore the thing that got you there. SHLTR maps facilities with covered parking, garages, and drive-in access so your car is protected too.
Real-time occupancy data from FEMA, Red Cross, and community hosts. Know which shelter has room before you drive there.
Filter shelters by covered parking, garage access, and RV clearance. Turn-by-turn directions that account for road closures.
Share your shelter plan with family members. Everyone sees the same destination, real-time ETAs, and check-in status.
How It Works
SHLTR monitors NWS feeds 24/7. The moment a tornado watch, severe thunderstorm, or hurricane warning hits your area, you get a push alert.
Tap “Find Shelter Now” to see real-time availability, distance, and vehicle accommodations for every facility near you.
Get offline-capable turn-by-turn directions. When you arrive, check in so your family knows you’re safe.
Features
Every feature is designed to work when infrastructure fails — poor signal, no power, stress-impaired decision making.
Direct feed from the National Weather Service. Tornado, hurricane, severe thunderstorm, and flash flood warnings push to your phone instantly.
Shelter data, maps, and navigation cached locally. Works without cell signal — because storms knock out towers first.
Aggregates FEMA National Shelter System, Red Cross, community hosts, and public buildings. Over 50,000 verified locations nationwide.
No account required. Location data stays on-device. Family sharing is opt-in and end-to-end encrypted.
For Everyone
Know where to go before severe weather strikes. SHLTR keeps your family connected and safe with pre-planned routes and real-time check-ins.
Own a garage, warehouse, or community building? Register as a shelter host and help your neighbors weather the storm.
