> that it needs to be prepared to handle the logistics of aiding

> millions of displaced Americans who will flee from urban areas that

> may be attacked.

>

> The agency plans to create emergency, makeshift cities that could

> house hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans who may

> have to flee their urban homes if their cities are attacked.

>

> Ominously, FEMA has been given a deadline of having the cities ready

> to go by January 2003  in abo ut six months.

>

> A source familiar with the deadline believes the effort is related to

> making the U.S. prepared for counterattacks if the U.S. invades Iraq

> sometime next year.

> FEMA is currently seeking bids from major real estate management

> firms, and plans to name three fir ms in the near future to handle the
