I know NYC is constantly revising them, and a lot of the details are "need to know" or are constantly in flux - who do they have hotel contracts with this week/month

As I said, I got to see some of it, and hear some of it, sue to being invited to an OEM meeting, as I was working with the Red Cross at the time via ARES

I will tell you that they have plans for up to 500 (yes 500) shelters in NYC - MANY will be in school buildings, which tend to to have some huge advantages when used as a shelter (for instance - many fairly large rooms than can be closed, well build (NYC schools tend to be brick/block/concrete) have cafeterias, and most important - many bathrooms!, plus schools will tend to be closed in disasters anyway

I do know that in the NY Bight scenario, they intend to shut the subways/buses from "normal" service, and run them as pure evacuation services. Of the 2.3 Million people they have to move in a Cat III, they are hoping/planning that approximately 1 millon of those will find their own shelter with friends/family/out of area.

Hint - it won't be pretty - they KNOW they don't have enough staff in that situation - not even close, so they are hoping for voluntiers from the residents.
