We present the sources of GIS data in Table 1-2 below.

Table 1: Data used in case study with sources

Data	Source
Census 2010 population data for each evacuation origin (block-group level) and each candidate shelter (county level)	www. socialexplorer.com
Census 2010 TIGER/Line GIS shapefiles having “block-group” and “county” as geographic units to construct the evacuation, shelter and DC zones as given in Table 4.	www.census.gov

We use the following counties given in Table 2, to construct the evacuation, shelter, and DC zones respectively.
