Congregate Care
Congregate Care : The temporary housing, feeding, and care at suitable facilities of populations displaced by a disaster. Also known as Mass Care. Although Congregate Care is a duty and obligation of local government sometimes handled in large part by the American Red Cross as a supporting federal agency, in large scale disasters the many functions involved are typically performed by such organizations as The Salvation Army, churches, synagogs, mosques, food banks and numerous other ngo's which may or may not be members of a local VOAD (Looked it up elsewhere in the source), as well as by business and industry and spontaneous volunteer groups
