Shown here is a line-up of evacuees waiting for the B shift. They carry with them their own dishes and cutlery in cloth bags to protect them from the dust which they, themselves, individually wash after the meal. Most residents prefer this second shift because they sometimes get second helpings, but the groups are rotated each week. There are eighteen mess halls in the center. Some accommodate as many as 800 people, three timesa day.
All food is prepared and served by evacuees.
