KEY POINT

Black checkmarkUnderstand why an Incident Commander might choose to SIP populations with special needs or large populations rather than evacuate them.

Incident Commanders recognize that responders are ill-equipped to provide these special accommodations, and that attempting to evacuate them would be time and resource intensive.

Incident Commanders thus might decide to shelter them in place rather than evacuate them and risk exposing them to the hazard.
