The U.S. military is still evacuating some people for medical treatment, but now they’re being waved off from South Florida and sent farther north — in part to make sure emergency rooms in and around Miami are ready to handle additional traffic that could come from Super Bowl<\/a> crowds.<\/p>\n An Army major told the Miami Herald<\/a> that Haitian evacuees are being “diverted elsewhere … because of the rising numbers of evacuees and the need for the region to be prepared for upcoming events such as might result from the large crowds at the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl.”<\/p>\n As of Wednesday, 136 Haiti evacuees were still hospitalized in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, the Herald said. Many patients will require long-term rehabilitation after they are out of critical care, and it’s unclear where they might get that care. “We hope they will have some place to go back home,” a top dean at the University of Miami Medical School told the Herald.<\/p>\n Some of the injured have been evacuated from Haiti to Tampa this week; Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has asked the feds to activate a national system that would route Haitian evacuees to hospitals in other states.<\/p>\n Photo: Associated Press<\/em><\/p>\n More than 350 people who were hurt in the Haiti earthquake were evacuated to hospitals in South Florida.
