On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas. The ensuing unprecedented flooding throughout the Texas coastal region affected millions of individuals.1 The statewide response in Texas included the sheltering of thousands of individuals at considerable distances from their homes. The Dallas area established large-scale general population sheltering as the number of evacuees to the area began to amass. Historically, the Dallas area is one familiar with "mega-sheltering," beginning with the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.2 Through continued efforts and development, the Dallas area had been readying a plan for the largest general population shelter in Texas.

2017年8月25日,飓风哈维在得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂附近登陆。随后,得克萨斯州沿海地区发生了前所未有的洪水,影响了数百万人。1 得克萨斯州的全州响应措施包括在离家相当远的地方为数千人提供避难所。随着撤离到该地区的人数开始增加,达拉斯地区设立了大规模的普通民众避难所。从历史上看,达拉斯地区对“大型避难”并不陌生,这始于2005年对卡特里娜飓风的应对。2 通过持续的努力和发展,达拉斯地区一直在制定一项计划,以建立得克萨斯州最大的普通民众避难所。(《灾难医学与公共卫生防范》。2019年;13:33 - 37)
