Yup. Not surprised. We're not quite full up yet, but we ended up being the national triage area. We have a certain minimum care level, and we can't take too many more without compromising that. We're not Louisiana and we don't treat people like cattle unless we don't have another choice.

That said, we can send some on to other places now that they've been stabilized and cared for. I suspect Oklahoma and New Mexico are next up.

True. We had only planned on 150k. We expanded to 220k, and the buses and planes are still coming. Looks like we can process another 20-30k, and get them firstline support, but they will need to be relocated for the medium and longterm assistance. We are not sending all of them away.
