Considerations

In a large-scale evacuation, all resources available will be needed to evacuate the general public. This large volume of people requiring transportation will overwhelm buses and other means of transportation. These forms of transportation will not be able for special needs populations.

Recognizing this, Incident Commanders may elect to shelter special needs populations in place while evacuating the surrounding population.
