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.

The person wrote: We lazed around Memphis until we could meet up with one of my oldest friends who was too stubborn to heed toe tag warnings from cops at his door. He ended up in shorts and t-shirt but nothing else when his house flooded within seconds.
