If
necessary, Reception and/or Congregate Care Centers will be
opened by public officials and the Red Cross. A Reception
Center is a location where people can be registered by County
and Red Cross personnel and then be provided shelter in a
different location, such as a high school gymnasium. To the
south of the Emergency Planning Zone, the Santa Maria Fairgrounds
in Santa Barbara County is designated as a Reception Center.
A Congregate Care Center is a location where people can obtain
shelter. To the north of the Emergency Planning Zone, Camp
Roberts is the designated Congregate Care Center. Radiation
monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination services by
trained personnel also will be available at or near the centers
listed above. Assistance with locating family members also
will be available at these centers.
