It is standard fare to tell shelterees to bring their own provisions. The night of the evacuation prior to landfall, they showed semi-trailers being unloaded on the news and said the NG was bringing in water and MRE's. What they should have brought were porta-potties and emergency lighting, all based on their Ivan experience. Since the evac order was a reluctant and last minute decision, there was no practical way to bring in enough supplies for a general population shelter. Remember, it was changed to a general shelter very late in the game.

Does anyone know how long the shelterees were in the Dome during and after Hurricane Ivan?
