I assume that area hotels are completely booked up, as they aren't really going to be there in numbers sufficient to deal with a large number of evacuees. Hmm. I guess that this is probably a common problem in disasters. And you don't want to have lots of liveable properties just sitting there idle most of the time, as it'd be expensive.
Hmm.
I wonder if it'd make sense to have some kind of "mobile hotel" service that uses RV-style trailers or something? Like, when there's some kind of event that produces massive demand for hotels in a particular spot, they just start hauling trailers into place. In cases where people lose their homes, they might be able to arrange for a longer-run stay.
A train of barracks-style sleeping cars might make sense for efficient deployment.
It’s easier to move the people away. The infrastructure needed to have a mobile housing would be incredibly costly, especially to maintain it.
If the people continue to be employed in the area -- and in some disasters, they might not -- putting them somewhere a long ways away may not be an option.
Moving apartments into areas surrounding evacuation zones seems like a good way to cause traffic and logistical issues.
If it’s so bad that they don’t have shelter within a reasonable area you start airdropping tents into nearby stadiums.
