Ahhh you must not have been listening to him? He has asked repeatedly several officials where do these people need to go? He said he would pass along the info. He asked some bimbo in charge of the State police directly on air and she did not have an answer in fact her answer was incoherent, a non sequitur even, she never said WHERE they should go. She was like a deer in the headlights. She should be demoted and get someone in there who knows what is going on.
We sure don't need these to be leading up to anything:

What "officials" are doing is that they have "sectioned" off the disaster zones. Rescue teams, different ones, are going into specific zones. Those being rescued in those specific zones will be "transported" to different, more than likely, EVACUATION CENTERS.
So, no. I'm not surprised the "official" couldn't supply the "answer". She'd have to ask: "Which Area, which disaster" first. The list (of zones, and plan areas) could be pages and pages long.
Then there are those not immediately in the flooded areas but on overpasses and elsewhere. Different plans to deal with them.
My prayers to all those trying to cope with this.
