A regional hurricane shelter at Toms River High School North's Pine Belt Arena is near capacity Sunday night. Toms River High School East will open at 9 a.m. Monday Oct. 29.

Previously, TROEM announced Toms River High School East was to open and accept residents. Toms River OEM Director Paul Daley said for the time being, Toms River North is still accepting evacuees and Toms River East will hold off opening as a shelter Sunday night.

At 9 a.m. Monday, Toms River High School East will open and is scheduled to have around 250 beds available, said Toms River Regional Schools spokesperson Tammi Millar.

Toms River High School East is at 1225 Raider Way, Toms River, 08753.

The Pine Belt Arena has more than 250 evacuees using the site on Old Freehold Road in Toms River.

Daley said Toms River High School East has limited resources and should it open as a shelter would accept Toms River residents. 

For Hurricane Irene, Toms River North and East opened, and then a third shelter was used at Toms River Intermediate North as the storm heightened last year.

Evacuees from outside the area can still go to Pinelands Regional, another regional Hurricane Sandy shelter in Ocean County.

Bus service from Ortley Beach A&P is expected to resume tomorrow. The barrier island communities are under a 4 p.m. evacuation order for Sunday, Oct. 28.

A series of closures and cancellations for Toms River have been announced, here.

Toms River has activated its Hurricane Emergency Hotline for 4 p.m. Sunday and onward: 732-818-9901.
