Bad news for evacuees. It looks like all San Diego hotels are at capacity and have no room for any more evacuees.

It looks like Qualcomm, the evacuation site has plenty of capacity. Also, SDSU Peterson gym will be opening up as a temporary evacuation center starting tomorrow.

Details:

The university has designated Peterson Gymnasium – located on the west side of campus on 55th Street – as a temporary shelter for students, faculty and staff and their families displaced by the fires. While this is not an official evacuation site, and Red Cross services will not be available, SDSU is responding to the extraordinary circumstances and will do what’s possible to assist those in need. SDSU will attempt to provide bedding and sleeping bags – very limited cots will be available tonight. Food and shower and bathroom facilities are also available.

Public Safety employees will be on hand to assist. We are accepting donations only of blankets and cots. Food and beverage items are not needed. Volunteers should contact Richel Thaler at rthaler [at] mail [dot] sdsu [dot] edu.

Also, D-lot is available for students and employees from evacuated areas as a “no cite” location for those who need to store vehicles on a temporary basis.
