It doesn't do much harm to be hungry for 2 or 3 days
. Does anyone know, of those mandatory evacuations, where will the people stay? Is the city going to offer free hotels?
The City's set up something like 91 evacuation centers in schools and other public buildings. They'll provide a cot and blanket (complete with City Logo) but the accommodations seem to be dormitory style.
