Contingency Corner: Evacuation Sites
Evacuations involve the relocation of personnel from one country to another, often under crisis conditions.
Evacuations are a stressful, high-stakes exercise for which preparation is essential to success:
Consider the following when planning for evacuations:
- Document organizational triggers that would warrant evacuation
- Identify and conduct walkthroughs of evacuation routes
- Identify multiple evacuation routes, taking into account context-specific risks
- Consider go-bag/packing contents required for the various types of evacuation routes
