Mass Care Facility
Mass Care Facility : A public or private building that may be used to lodge, feed or otherwise care for displaced populations. Also known as Congregate Care Facility. A properly managed Mass Care Facility or Congregate Care Facility serving the general public on a 24 hour basis requires a trained staff for each of at least two shifts. Generally, assigned space is approximately 40 square feet per person. Such a facility may or may not meet criteria for designation as a "fallout shelter". Because there may not be on-site or other ready access to pre-positioned supplies and equipment, logistical support may be critical to its operation
