Just spoke to the Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (713-881-3100), the Red Cross is handling the evacuation center, and the United Way is accepting food/clothing donations. I called the Red Cross, they don't know anything. Perhaps sometime tomorrow they will know. Anyway i'll try to keep people posted.

Update: Sent this scrap of info to the Chronicle. I also put in a call for volunteers to my school (GSBS). There is an established outreach program for teaching. Dunno if school officials want to get involved or not; i'll find out. The school is 2 miles away from the Dome.

Update2:

From WaPo

Carrie Martin, a spokesman for the American Red Cross in Washington, said at mid-morning that the plans for the evacuation were still being made, but the Red Cross, through local affiliates, would handle the operation. She said she expected it would begin in the next 12 to 24 hours.

Guess they should tell the local Red Cross this information and give them what they need to get it done. Instead of, you know, telling the press first.

So far that hasn't happened.
