Maybe FEMA will help with their detention camps?
I'm reading your question as I'm listening to the wind howl outside. It is the responsibility of people who live in flood zones to have an evacuation plan. If they don't have a predetermined place to go (most of us stay with relatives in non-flood zones), the schools generally open up and cots are put out in the gym for people to stay until the storm passes. YMCA's allow everyone to shower and use their facilities. etc . .
It is just a storm people. We Americans get hit by these things all the time -- we'll clean up the mess and move on. Maybe have to re-roof the house, but whatever. Stuff happens.
Katrinas and Andrews are very few and far between. No need for anyone to panic.
blessings...every where an any where its safe.It's gonna be hard to watch your city be warned by mother nature what real power can do...!People will rise together as the waters an winds receed.they will be greeted back to all storm zones with heavy hearts but faith all things change an go on.the one thing about testing the human condition is...doors will open,food will be shared,and strangers will become friends an family in the moment of uncertain out comes....where are they?they are everywhere an america is watching an waiting to help!we do not have detention
camps we have evacuation shelters...blessed be!
Mr. P., you are watching Mid-Atlantic Americans as they step onto uncharted territory. FEMA will provide temporary housing via much reviled trailers as they FINALLY did in New Orleans ca. 2005, until the infrastructure is repaired.
But the great difference between Hurricane Katrina's rape of New Orleans 7 years ago (N.O. being our most unique and arguably most Euro city) and Ms. Sandy's assault of the Mid-Atlantic is BIG MONEY and BUSINESS. There may be a debacle in the Del-Mar-VA peninsula (the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia), New York, New Jersey, etc., but trust me, it's going to involve a different kind of American-the kind that have that long money.
Different storm. Different dynamic. Different part of the country. Louisiana is near tropical and malarial-nearly devoid of a healthy work ethic and saddled with startling rates of poverty and bad health, as a result. I may as well add it has one one of the nation's highest rate of STDs.
The Mid-Atlantic: a totally different beast, indeed.
They aren't "detention" camps, Mr. P., à la "District 9," as no one is being "detained." They are, instead, temporary relocation settlements for people to utilize until their homes and support services are back in place.
If it is anything like a repeat performance of the evacuation following hurricane Katerina.
It's fairly obvious those with money will be well taken care of & those less fortunate, will tell their sorry tale at a later date.
And no doubt the authorities will plead they did their best.
But at least it won't take 19 hours to sober Obama up to issue a statement if need be to calm the panic-stricken!
hopefully dryer land in land. not the morons that say it a little storm we'll be okay at home then cry afterward "why didn't people warn us?" the world is ending and NY and NJ are getting washed away. understand the rest of the country do not see why this is a bad thing.
Most will stay with relatives who live in-land on higher grounds. Some will stay at hotels or motels. Some will stay at red cross emergency centers
Why bother about them? They were removed to the camps, that's all you know. Everytime 370,000 people disappear, everyone else benefits!
The white folks are being put up in nice hotels away from the storm. The blacks are being given a map drawn by a three year old of directions to a bus buried underground.

friends, relatives, schools
Estimated 370,000 people - Where are they going to be staying?
Maybe FEMA will help with their detention camps?
