This web site is run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and describes recommended guidelines for refugee camps. The site makes it painfully obvious that we're not putting enough effort or resources into dealing with Hurricane Katrina evacuees. The recommended space for refugee camps is set at 30 square meters per person. That means the 23,000 people in the Superdome will need 170 acres to meet the suggested MSF guidelines.
