in nashville we have a limited family shelter population, there are 7 or 9 shelters that take women,domestic violence issues, that is roughly 200 homeless beds per family and night and as i mentioned earlier my numbers are close to 3000 each school year so that is a huge gap. the city of nashville has worked hard over the last we 6 months to a year to develop a coordinated injury system with the notion being we want one number families can call so they don't have to call a long list of shelter agencies or churches, coordinated entry system, one primary number to be screened over the phone and be connected and referred to the most appropriate resource was what we saw 10 years ago was the highest functioning families, who had jobs, cars, a reasonable chance of getting back on their feet pretty quickly, went to the shelters that offered the greatest service so you had families who were homeless with the lowest level, the highest level of service and the coordinated entry system we are connecting flipped on its end, looks at families who were neediest, mothers with no work history, multi

you have families that might be in shelters, emergency services shelters. you have families that might be living in hotels. you have families that might be couch surfing, going from a relative's home to another friend's home and sleeping they find to sleep on. what we know is that when students are going through school like that, they perform much worse than their peers, even their peers that are also in poverty, so they are really scraping the bottom of that academic barrel. i find that unacceptable to think that we have that many kids here in cedar rapids with all the wealth that we have in having reached their potential. phoebe: if i can add a little to those numbers, lynda mentioned the school numbers, but when you look at just the general homeless population in linn county, well over 1,000 people were in shelters last year. that's just looking at the emergency shelters. a lot of families often don't come to shelter because they are doubled moving next to next to next. in the shelters, we saw more than 1,000 people that were literally homeless, nowhere

120 but does serve as shelter.that are sheltered here on regular basis. so, you know, authorities here are worried because they believe a lot of people are not heeding the warning, coming to shelters, all over the city. about 2,000 people in shelters at this particular time. latest count but there's 456,000 people in the evacuation zone. so that's one of the reasons why officials say, you know, people are not heeding the warning, she should be seeing more people in shelters. just like earlier today officials were thinking should be seeing more people on roads exiting the city. were not seeing those numbers. that's why they're a bit worried don. because at this point officials are saying you've got to hunker down at home, stay where you're at right now, stay put because it's not going to be safe. don't know exactly when the winds will pick up here but next 24 hours probably and jacksonville is a city of bridges. that's how it's connected. once sustained winds go up to 40 to 45 miles arp hour those bridges are closed

shelter in place is what the boston police are telling us now. many people on the scene here and see what's going on. a search for suspects is on. scanner traffic if you you knew something was going on and this is what we're told tonight as they are confirming two boston police officerses shot in the area of 136 glad stone street in east boston. shelter in place order these asking people to be aware of that. also on twitter people who were in that area of the airport said it looks like every police officer in town is headed somewhere with their lights and sirens flashing. what's going on two officers have been shot in east boston. now is a multifamily level in that neighborhood that residence right there. again boston police a lot of support with law enforcement we have crews headed that way. as you can imagine right now very, very active scene to that point we know that boston police have now platesed a shelter in place order for that neighborhood -- placed a shelter in place order for that neighborhood. we have crews headed to scene trying to g

[ applause ] >> i'm going to put this down, but i was holding the door to shelter. good evening, it's wonderful to be here with all of you standing in support of domestic violence survivors. over 40 years ago we began as a small shelter for battered women in san francisco and today la casa is still providing emergency services to women and children in need through confidential shelter and 24-hour crisis line. we also provide counseling, case management, support groups, a teen program and legal services at our jobs center on mission street four of our advocates work as the only two women-specific supportive housing sites in san francisco, providing emotional and practical support to over 150 female residents. this partnership is entering its 18th year. la casa also had the opportunity to extend our support services in san francisco by providing targeted programming to specific populations alongside amazi

people have been seeking shelter. we have eight shelters here in brevard county. hundreds of people have sought shelter there, because a lot of them have houses along the beach. so it's definitely not a safe place. you want to be indoors. back to you guys. >> jackie, you mentioned the hotel and people were staying there. were you able to speak with any of them in terms of evacuating and what they were concerned about? >> reporter: yeah, yeah, we have been able to speak with them. a lot of them have lived in florida all their life. and they said this is definitely the worst hurricane they've ever experienced. so they were taking this seriously, and that's why they're just kind of hunkered down here at the hotel. but a lot of them are worried. we saw a couple, they were just pacing back and forth, just worried about what type of destruction this is going to do for their communities here. so a lot of people are worried. >> yeah, as we speak to you, we're looking at some pictures we saw just a moment ago, some peoples' boats there in one of the harbors. okay. so we te

we do know that the shelter in place order has been lifted. they don't feel like there is a threat to residents on gladstone street >> one suspect has been located, the scene is secure. my producer telling me a suspect has been located and the scene is secure. alex is on the scene. tell us what you know. >> we are at bennington and wally streets here in boston. there are at least 100 police officers in this general area. they have cordoned off the area police officers are here, manning the scene. they are letting some residents in. if they show some proof of i.d. because they have a large area here in the east boston section, shut down at this hour t. police helicopter was also up. i don't see it at this hour but we've also seen cars of officials arrive here. i haven't seen who exactly the officials are, but being that you know, the look on the boston police officers face obviously grim, we are hearing that these officers don't have life-threatening injuries, nonetheless they are very concerned. we actually came up 93 and saw plenty of police

people stayed at the emergency shelter... and 175 different people stayed there last year. during that same time period they say emergency rooms reported a decrease in frost bite cases, and no one died from the extreme cold... that's why they say finding a spot soon is a must. " this year what we really need is some bathrooms in it, an empty space that is warm where we can put some cots on the floor, and that's re can make about anything work.

the problem wasn't the shelters as much as convincing people to go to shelters. and then you had another challenge. i went into a shanty down along the ocean and i spoke to a lot of people there. and they wanted people to go into the shelters, but this was no transportation to get them there. after they went into the shelters, there was nothing for them to eat. the mayor of port-au-prince, had to put out on s.o.s. just hours before the storm for potable water and blankets. schools are closed until monday. but the people now who have been displaced are living in shelters. so a city of over 400,000 people that hold region, and these people are -- you say where to? where are they going to go? >> there's probably no answer for that question. very devastated haiti. jacqueline charles, thank you very much for the update from your perspective. at the top of the hour, we'll give you a forecast for hurricane matthew where it's going next. stay with us.

shelters in florida they are packed at this hour. interstates, airports, theme parks all shut down laura thomas is tracking this as well. when is the eye of the storm expected to make land fall laura? >> we're still tracking the exact track of this eye. and still potentially could but just barely be a couple of miles. i want to show you that this eye, so this is where those strongest winds would be and still just east of that coastline. some very heavy rain and strong winds now moving us through florida. have been for hours now. and continue to pound florida and that eastern coast. now let's take a look at these tracks. these are going to be spa computer models. each one of these lines helps us track this hurricane line you will see most of this line take it to florida. circle it back around and look at this. you see the shaded area from central florida to the bahamas. could potentially move back into florida, the bahamas.

at our last shelter count.mber as the weather betting worse, individuals are becoming uncomfortable sheltering in place and still moving into shelters as we speak. david: how long can you shelter them there? some people, may after all, lose their homes? >> correct, here at red cross we'll shelter as long as we need to in order for individuals to start recovery process if there is total loss to their homes. david: jacksonville, many people think just about anywhere in florida they're familiar with hurricanes. jacksonville hasn't had a hit from a hurricane this strong in over 100 years. while others cities have great plans for what happens in a hurricane i imagine jacksonville is not as well-prepared? >> you are exactly right. so as red cross has been prepared but the community at large is, this is a new one for them. they're not used to any type of weather for this. a lot of individuals hesitant to evacuate. hesitant to even build the disaster kit for their own home. we're seeing aftermath of that as shelter num

one of the shelters is at princeton high school. >> ken, not everyone at the shelter lives in johnston county. some of the people were on 95 when the accident happened, right? >> you are absolutely right, gerald. some of the drivers in the vicintiy of the fiery crash on i-95 are here. of course, many of the others are people who live in smithfield in a 1-3 mile radius of that crash. initially everyone was asked to smithville and additional precaution. the emergency management bussed them here to princeton high school. last check a little more than 50 people here at this particular shelter was still working to find out how many people here are in the cleveland shielder. this shelter opening at a moment's notice. supplies have to be brought in to take care of everyone. volunteers are unloading water and other supplies right now. depending how long the shelter remains open. the next one is food. right now people are for the ones we spoke with the toughest part for them is not knowing if and when they will go home. >> what is this night like for you. >> >> it has been a night. last week it

we have a special needs shelter in our county. on the other hand, in our city we have a lot of young people living in our city who have not been through a hurricane, and i hope that they are not taking this for granted or looking at this lightly. and our downtown is in the evacuation area, so we're hoping that people in the evacuation area did get out, and if they didn't, they need to shelter in place at this point. >> same question i had for federal and state. are you getting everything you need so far? >> as far as i know. we have an excellent relationship with county and they are in communication with the state. you know, we've been through this before so we know what we need to do to get fema here and keep track of our time and other expenses. so, unfortunately, when we did have francis and gene, we learned a lot -- well, i guess fortunately we learned a lot. we've been able to apply it to what we're doing today. >> unfortunately, you live in florida long enough, you become experienced to this kind of stuff. mayor moya, thank

lyman high school is a pet-friendly shelter. there are a couple special-needs shelters we also have opened and i'm going to leave that to donna wall wsh with the health departt to talk about. >> we have been looking at the various states there. georgia, you had florida as well as south carolina updating us on what they're expecting state officials. i want to bring back chad myers. chad, this goes to show youer looking at press conferences almost simultaneously in all of these states. this is an expected huge event. >> sure. and this is the last minutes that florida residents will have to take those precautions. there will still be more minutes for georgia and south carolina but at this point in time, that's it. if you're from ft. pierce to stewart and about cocoa beach, you don't have time left you can't put in sheets of plywood when you have bands of weather bringing in 60 mile per hour wind gusts and that's what we'll have for the rest of the day. the gusts inside the inner eye wall about 140 miles per hour right now. it's for
