     In the three weeks since, the city has repeatedly relocated evacuees on short notice. To reopen schools, it bused many to armories, turning drill floors into open dormitories for the first time since a 1980s lawsuit halted the practice. […] Confusion about who was in charge made the chaos worse, said Annette Bethea, 49, another evacuee from the Rockaways.
