4.4.5. Hotels

Five out of the ten questionnaires were returned answered, and all respondents indicated interest and ability to partake in a FSC-response system. One hotel reported the capacity to receive green patients from a major incident, and the remaining four reported the ability to prepare food, water, and shelter for over 40 persons. All responding hotels indicated that they could house evacuees or injured for treatment by healthcare professionals. Both interviewees expressed an enthusiastic interest in partaking in the proposed FSC-response system. A lack of competency and material were reported as barriers.

#### 4.4.6. Sports Facilities

It was difficult to establish contact with sports facilities. From the twelve distributed questionnaires, two envelopes were returned due to missing mailboxes and only three questionnaires were answered. Two sports facilities indicated a capacity to participate in a FSC-response system. One facility did not answer the questions in the questionnaire but informed that they have no beds, no material, and no regular staff to contribute. Another informant responded that they could help, but they were limited in terms of what they could do. Multiple sites were contacted for interviews, but neither the owners nor managers were available for discussion or interested in being interviewed because nobody could answer for the whole facility. One sports facility administrator was briefly interviewed via telephone. The sports facilities that did report a capability to be included in a FSC-response system indicated that they could provide shelter and water for many people and distribute food. An important caveat regarding the mapping of sports facilities' capabilities is that they are often owned by the public and are managed by a municipal sport and association board. The power of decision making over daily operations often lies in municipal political councils that are disconnected from the day-to-day work at the facility.
