luckily I was not an evacuee but did spend the day at home from work yesterday.. basically got up .. smelled smoke.. heard there was a fire less that 5 miles away.... so since they were not sure. .I was not sure. .packed up essentials in about 40 minutes and waited to see if they would call.. luckily they did not..
now to answer your question.. there are someting like 15 or 17 evacuation centers throughout San Diego.. the largest of which is Qualcomm stadium.. the largest large animal (horse) evac area is Del Mar.. spread between those are numerous civic centers, high schools etc that have opened their doors.. both Del Mar and Lakeside rodeo grounds accepted animals and people (I know sounds funny.. but both were originally set up for large animals (horses)).. plus the ARC set up several areas as well .. plus evac hot lines etc.. there were several hospitals and senior centers that had to be evacuated. patients were sent to a different hospital.. and the seniors were accomodated by family or in the private suites of qualcomm stadium..
.. on top of that every time anyone asked for supplies of any kind for the evacuees.. someone stepped up.. the Navy , the Marines, Qualcomm, Rubios restaurant, to name a few.. major hotel chains.. and individuals .. it was great to see..
