Decentralized State/Federal Level Emergency Evacuation Management Centers

Abstract

Earlier research studies revealed local weaknesses which led to the concept of a middle management center (MMC). The MMC would coordinate the emergency activities of each evacuation area. It would function as a clearinghouse for intelligence and as a decisionmaking body for the allocation of relocation area personnel and resources. The centers would also serve as a focal point for concepts with state and federal government agencies. They would not duplicate local personnel and operations at present EOC's. The objective of this research was to investigate the roles of federal/state level MMC's to serve emergency evacuation operations. The analyses considered the background and field conditions, the functions and techniques, and the benefits and feasible means to implement the centers.
