Shelters Available Across Islip Town
Several facilities now open to provide warmth, food and charging stations.
As residents across Islip continue to recover from Hurricane Sandy, the Town has put together a list of shelters and outreach programs that are currently available. The shelters can be utilized by all residents, but Town officials are looking to provide assistance to those who still lack power and heat.
