The old barn made a convenient refuge from the storm.
They walked away from the city, and sought refuge in a nearby town.
Refugee or refugee means a person fleeing danger or disaster, most commonly used to mean someone who flees to another country--
He came here as a refugee from Cambodia, where he had been a political prisoner.
"You don't have to live like a refugee..."

"The refugee went from place to place, seeking refuge from religious persecution."
