Disaster Shelter

When disaster strikes, people are sometimes away from home or unable to stay in their own homes. Bay Township has established a small shelter for such a situation. The shelter is accredited by the American Red Cross and Disaster Team members also received their training from that organization.

The township has a pantry stocked with basic foods, emergency water supply, cots, blankets and pillows to accommodate about ten people. Battery-operated lighting and auxiliary power has been provided.

Every two years the pantry foods are inventoried and replaced if necessary. The Disaster Shelter team members run through a short drill to recap where supplies and equipment are stored and to review emergency procedures.

Veterans' Plaque

Bay Township maintains a “VETERANS’ PLAQUE” in the township hall. This lists the names of township residents who were in active military service. For names to be included on the plaque, please email baytownship@gmail.com.
