Practical Guide for Public Safety Crisis Relocation Planning.

Abstract

A crisis relocation, as well as other types of civilian evacuation, imposes significant demands upon a community's public safety resources (law enforcement, fire protection, and rescue medical services). In planning for public safety operations, personnel must estimate the types and magnitude of these demands; and, if possible, establish procedures for reducing these demands to manageable levels. This Guide: (a) identifies factors which can lead to increased resource requirements; (b) suggests techniques for reducing these requirements; (c) suggests techniques for increasing the availability of current resources; (d) provides procedures (and a computer program) for estimating public safety resource requirements for an evacuation operation.
