Amid Hurricane Helene response efforts, FEMA and the NFL are launching a new strategy to help in times of similar disasters — and Lumen Field is part of the plan.

The public-private partnership, dubbed Mission Ready Venues, designates NFL stadiums as places capable of housing response missions during emergency situations.

Favored for their central + accessible locations, stadiums provide the ideal venue for weather crises responses and safe storage + shelter in times of need.

Lumen Field is among the first NFL venues to receive Mission Ready Venue status — as a result, the stadium will increase its capabilities to better sustain public safety and support local community.

Future uses for the stadium could include: emergency shelters, staging areas, commodity distribution sites, evacuation pick-up points, disaster recovery centers, mass vaccination and testing, temporary hospitals, and more.
