Mass Sheltering and Housing Assistance Recovery Strategy 1
Mass Sheltering and Housing Assistance Recovery Strategy 1 : "Key elements of the strategy are advance identification of Congregate and Transitional Shelters to provide short-term lodging and Temporary Housing facilities for an extended period of time. Contained within the strategy is a Shelter Registration Protocol which will allow FEMA field personnel to proactively register evacuees at designated congregate shelter locations and organized evacuee reception sites, including those out-of-State. FEMA also has a Transitional Sheltering Protocol, which may be implemented when large numbers of evacuees are being housed in congregate shelters and will not be able to return to their homes for an extended period of time. In addition to the sheltering protocol, FEMA has an initiative to offer Evacuee Return Transportation, which can be used if FEMA, in support of the affected State, coordinates the out-of-State evacuation of State residents, and the evacuees are able to return to and occupy their homes within a short period of time, FEMA will organize a reverse, mass relocation effort. If evacuees are not able to return to their homes for an extended period of time, eligible evacuees may be reimbursed for independent transportation expenses to return to their homes".
