In a significant partnership aimed at enhancing disaster preparedness, FEMA has designated four NFL stadiums, including MetLife Stadium and Acrisure Stadium, as emergency shelters to be utilized during extreme weather events and natural disasters. This initiative comes as federal officials recognize the need for additional shelter options during crises. The selected stadiums will be equipped and designated as 'Mission Ready Venues' to ensure they can effectively assist communities in times of need. The collaboration between FEMA and the NFL signifies a proactive approach to disaster response, highlighting the importance of utilizing existing infrastructure to provide refuge for those affected by emergencies.
