Shelters open to help families impacted by Oklahoma tornadoes
ENID, Okla. (KOKH) — As survey teams continue to investigate the damage left behind by vicious tornadoes on Thursday, shelters are now open across the area for those impacted by the storms.
The Chisholm Trail Expo Center, located at 111 W/ Perdue Ave., is one of the main shelters open in Enid.
Officials say it served as a shelter and reunification center where loved ones can try to reconnect after the storm.
The American Red Cross has stepped in, offering food, water, relief supplies and emotional support for those impacted.
All disaster assistance is free, but organizers are asking anyone coming in to bring identification, if possible.
However, the expo center isn’t the only option.
The Oakwood Activity Center, located at 401 N. Oakwood Rd., is also open as a temporary shelter, providing basic necessities for those who need it most.
