DALLAS —Dallas is preparing to open a mega-shelter at its downtown convention center as the city has been asked to get ready for what could be tens of thousands of evacuees from Harvey.
"We may have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of more individuals that will get bigger than this convention center," said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings in a Monday press conference inside the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center.
Dallas authorities are aiming to open the shelter by Tuesday morning.
The city has also been asked to get ready for more people over the next few days and weeks, the mayor said.
"I'm not saying it's going to happen, but we've been asked to prepare for numbers that could be up in the tens of thousands," Rawlings said.
