Evacuspots key to getting people out of New Orleans if natural disaster approaches

"Evacuspots" can be found at 17 locations throughout the city, and they're not just pieces of art.

Their true function is to serve as a meeting point for anyone who can't evacuate on their own.

If you meet at one of these evacuspots, someone will come to your location to shuttle you, your family and pets to the nearest shelter.

Evacuteer.org is in charge of the project.
