toe tag warning

A situation, like Hurricane Katrina, where the police go around and hand out triage tags or disaster evacuation tags or, if you're light-skinned, write your name and social-security number on your arm. I heard it from someone in New Orleans- that's what they called it during Hurricane Katrina.
