During Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the Superdome was used as a staging area. Many people who left NOLA were shipped to the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. When the mountains and hills in San Diego County burned in 2007, Jack Murphy Stadium (or Qualcomm Stadium) was used as a staging area. Therefore, it appears that the sports stadium is the staging area of choice in the present and near future!
Keeping with this theme, the Kansas Speedway will likely serve as a staging area for the Kansas City area. The local authorities recently conducted a health emergency drill at the speedway to prepare the people. Is this more fear mongering over the H1N1 "swine" flu?
Luckily, there is no mention of mass mandatory vaccinations.

The Kansas Speedway could end up being used for more than just races. One day, it could be used as a staging area in the event of a health emergency, like H1N1.
Wednesday, the Public Health Department of the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas/Wyandotte County held an emergency drill at the speedway.
Volunteers set up shop at various stations on the speedway. Some distributed and collected Health History/Authorization forms. Others passed out fake medication.
Public health officials say the speedway has potential because it is close to the highway and it is large enough to cater to mass amounts of people quickly.
Luckily, there is no mention of mass mandatory vaccinations.
