December 18, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Hosted by: Suquamish Indian Tribe
Join us for our Evacuation Planning Strategies and Solutions course and apply evacuation strategies and best practices to create and evaluate evacuation plans. Recognize evacuation needs during disasters and threat characteristics of different hazards. Assess the need for an evacuation in different communities. Walk through the evacuation planning process and transportation considerations in evacuation planning. Evaluate the evacuation decision-making process through case studies and discussion. Evacuations can be ordered at any time for many types of disasters. The larger the scale of the evacuation, the more complex it is to plan as well as to execute.
