The second huge Gulf Coast hurricane in less than a month has Kansas officials pinpointing places to shelter possible evacuees.

Hurricane Rita was on track early today to make landfall sometime Saturday along the central Texas coast. Parts of Louisiana could also be hit and more than one million people in both states have been told to evacuate.

In Kansas, officials are identifying possible shelters with an eye to location, capacity, special needs and the distance to hospitals and adult care facilities.

Nearly two-thousand families displaced by Hurricane Katrina already are staying in Kansas. That's according to statistics on families registering with the federal government for post-Katrina help.
