abstract="Hurricanes Katrina and Rita produced the largest evacuation due to a natural disaster in United States history. Many people were evacuated or rescued from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, resulting in a need for mass disaster shelters and medical care for months following the storms. The shelter healthcare system that was successfully developed in the Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana area was accomplished with little support from customary sources. This report is written after much discussion and introspection of community leaders involved &quot;on the ground,&quot; who organized and provided medical services to evacuees of south Louisiana. Its purpose is to compile &quot;lessons learned&quot; in preparation for the next disaster recovery effort that might affect this or any other region of our country.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
