Shelters Prepared In Case Of Inaugural Emergency
Emergency Shelters Are Within 200 Miles Of Washington

BETHEL TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A school in Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley is one of a number of shelters the American Red Cross is setting up in the event of an emergency at Thursday's presidential inauguration.

It's the first time the Red Cross has taken such extensive precautions for an inauguration.

"We try to plan for any type of emergency that may occur," said Dawn Vitez, with the American Red Cross.

Tuesday was a regular school day at Northern Lebanon High School, but the building is ready to take on an important role should there be some type of disaster at Thursday's presidential inaugural.

"It would be for people who have had to leave their homes suddenly and have nowhere else to go," Vitez said.
