Four stadiums in disaster-prone regions around the country will do double duty in the event of extreme weather as part of a partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Football League to build resilience in communities through an initiative called Mission Ready Venues. Recent storms like Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton are another reminder that planning and resource delivery is critical to a recovery effort. The four stadiums the NFL is planning to use are the Jets and Giants stadium, (MetLife Stadium located in East Rutherford New Jersey). Lumen Field in Seattle (Seattle Seahawks). Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, home to the Pittsburgh Steelers; and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa; home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have been designated for large-scale emergency use, FEMA announced. One example of this is when in 2005 the New Orleans Saints used their home field, the superdome, to hold multiple civilians during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. These Mission Ready Venues will be used in several ways including emergency shelters, staging areas, commodity distribution sites, evacuation pick-up points, disaster recovery centers, mass vaccination and testing and temporary hospitals in times of need.
