When people are evacuated ahead of a hurricane or a flood, they need somewhere safe to go: a gym, fairgrounds or convention center turned into a shelter, with places to sleep, eat, wash and get information. Mass care covers sheltering, feeding and the distribution of emergency supplies, typically coordinated under the jurisdiction's mass care function.
KDT staffs shelter operations with personnel qualified to the standard the jurisdiction requires and works with the local emergency management agency and partner organizations. KDT also supplies what a shelter runs on: cots and bedding, mass feeding, potable water, restroom and shower trailers, handwash stations, power, lighting, cooling or heating, and security.
Order staff for an existing shelter, the equipment for a shelter another organization is running, or a complete shelter stood up from scratch.
