I keep hearing about the SuperDome as a shelter, but do they have other shelters outside of New Orleans to take the elderly, or those medically unable to evacuate?
We live in Tampa Bay area...lots of shelters open, some for those with medical problems, some just for those whose houses are in evac zones, but at least there are places to seek refuge for people that can't leave the area (many folks that live in mobile homes are the first to show up at a shelter.)
I heard there were a couple other places people could go, but only if they could prove medical need. Poor and homeless are on their own.
Just on FNC - NOLA Shelter Information - 504.658.2500 - for special needs etc.
Worth repeating even if already posted.
