Welcome to COVER – Communication Of Vacancies Emergency Response
With the potential evacuation of the Gulf Coast due to Tropical Storm Isaac, the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism is activating the Arkansas COVER program. This site displays vacancies and shelters along with mapping and
pet-friendly information, for anyone displaced by an emergency. Lodging information is displayed by geographic regions of Arkansas.
To search for emergency transitional housing, click the yellow triangle icon on the highway on which you are
traveling into the state of Arkansas. These points represent the
state’s Welcome Centers. Clicking on this icon takes you to a page with emergency
lodging facilities with vacancies nearest that point.
The resulting page has available emergency transitional housing grouped by distance from
the Welcome Center. Click a lodging facility’s name for room details and directions.
