A mass shelter is defined as a facility adequate to pro-Write the definition of each of the types of shelters.
vide temporary shelter for groups of disaster victims un-l able to continue their living arrar.gements in separate family units.
An individual shelter is one in which there is an arrange-ment for a family to reside in an accommodation such as a motel, hotel, apartment, or rental unit.
Describe the following situation: The Hurricane Center in Miami has issued hurricane warnings from Brownsville, Texas, to Galveston, Texas, beginning at 6 p.m. this evening. All persons in this area should prepare for winds of 100-140 miles an l'our accompanied by high tides.
Ask the following question: What type of shelter would you establish for this situation? Bring up the following points:
- Several predesignated mass shelters should be established for precautionary measures. Precautionary shelters may be opened in advance of a hurricane, rising water, heavy snow storm stranding motorists, etc.
- A shelter may be open for a matter of hours or for a long period of time, such as when there is extensive damage to homes.
- Although mass shelters are not desirable living accommoda-tions for families accustomed to their own homes, the opera.
tion of a mass shelter may become necessary so that large numbers of persons can be cared for quickly and effectively.
- lt must be remembered that the Red Cross establishes and operates a mass shelter only as an emergency and temporary means of caring for people. Plans are made as soon as possi-ble to close a mass shelter and to reestablish families in their own living quarters.
V. SELECTION AND DESIGNATION OF A Allow 30 minutes.
