RESPOND MISSION: CITIZEN EVACUATION AND SHELTER-IN-PLACE• Public anxiety <strong>and</strong> stress will result from evacuations, requir<strong>in</strong>g mental health services, appropriaterisk communications, <strong>and</strong> public education/<strong>in</strong>struction.• Local jurisdictional resources will be quickly overwhelmed <strong>and</strong> will require mutual aid from otherjurisdictions <strong>and</strong> support from Federal, State, <strong>and</strong> regional agencies.• Through memor<strong>and</strong>a of underst<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g (MOUs) <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong>to plann<strong>in</strong>g, adjacent communitieswill be prepared to h<strong>and</strong>le significant numbers of evacuees from affected areas. These hostcommunities also will identify resources, personnel, <strong>and</strong> equipment to shelter <strong>and</strong> support evacuees.• Pre-event identification of shelter sites has been planned for by emergency management agencies <strong>and</strong>MOUs are <strong>in</strong> place for use of the facilities.• Although shelters will require a m<strong>in</strong>imum time for setup <strong>and</strong> activation, populations will requireservices immediately on evacuation, notably those for special needs populations <strong>and</strong> conta<strong>in</strong>ment.• For shelter-<strong>in</strong>-place, evacuation, shelter<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>and</strong> reentry plann<strong>in</strong>g, each jurisdiction has unique hazards<strong>and</strong> unique resources. Capabilities for at-risk populations are based on jurisdictional hazardvulnerability analysis. Plans (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g emergency operations plans), procedures, mutual aidagreement, <strong>and</strong> so forth must be <strong>in</strong> place to support effective evacuation <strong>and</strong> shelter<strong>in</strong>g, dependent onthe hazard/risk analysis <strong>and</strong> the resources available for the at-risk population. The measurement forthis capability is: Can the jurisdiction evacuate <strong>and</strong>/or shelter the at-risk population <strong>and</strong>, if theycannot, what actions will procure/garner adequate resources for them?Scenario-Specific• A large amount of the chemical chlor<strong>in</strong>e has been released <strong>in</strong>to the atmosphere (a plume) <strong>and</strong> isdisbursed <strong>in</strong> a widely populated area. Decontam<strong>in</strong>ation of evacuees will require additional resources<strong>and</strong> triage areas before citizens can be sheltered; therefore, fire/emergency medical services (EMS),hospitals, <strong>and</strong> HazMat teams will be required to decontam<strong>in</strong>ate evacuees.• Local <strong>and</strong> regional resources will be quickly overwhelmed <strong>and</strong> require State <strong>and</strong> Federal assistance.• Long-term shelter<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> decontam<strong>in</strong>ation will be required.• City/jurisdiction is a large urban area with a network of streets <strong>and</strong> highways. With<strong>in</strong> the affectedarea, the evacuation <strong>and</strong> reentry routes <strong>and</strong> zones encompass 25 major <strong>in</strong>tersections <strong>in</strong> a 25-mileevacuation radius.• Approximately 25 percent of the evacuated population will require shelter.
