Has anyone ever set up a..., "point-of-contact" type of thing, where people could post that they would make part of their home available for fleeing residents? Like..., I guess an internet site where it could be similar to air-bnb, showing how many occupants they could take in, people could post requests, then take it to some sort of direct communication where the parties could work out the details?
If not, I think that could be a good idea.
I mean, I'm way up in MD, which is too far most likely, but I would certainly be willing to take in some people for a short time.
Like, if you're evacuating, how far do you travel before you start looking for a motel? And I'm sure many people can't afford to suddenly drop $500-$1000, when you factor in the cost of gas/tolls/food/lodging for 3 days. Or if the infrastructure gets really damaged, it could turn into weeks or longer for some people, before they're allowed back.
Idk..., just trying to put myself in the shoes of those who have to evacuate. I can't quite wrap my head around the logistics. And these hurricanes are going to get worse, as an average, and more frequent.
