Polk Shelters Open Tuesday

Polk County will open public shelters Tuesday morning for people who cannot stay in their homes during Tropical Storm Fay, which may be a hurricane by the time it hits.

Shelters for the general public and a pet-friendly shelter will open at 10 a.m. The three special-needs shelters will open at 7 a.m. Those shelters are for people with medical needs that require them to have access to electricity.
