Special considerations for facilities with special needs and/or large populations (continued)
- Similarly, evacuating a large population such as an apartment building or an arena or stadium will significantly increase traffic congestion and will slow the overall evacuation. For these reasons, ICs may consider SIP for these large and/or special needs populations even though they are evacuating the surrounding community.
- Institutional facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes must have their own emergency action plans that include provisions for evacuation and SIP.
