Supporting Actions<br />
• Create an alert and notification plan <strong>for</strong> notifying stadium officials, and external<br />
emergency management agencies of an evacuation.<br />
• Consider the “human factor;” reactions and responses to a given set of conditions<br />
that may result in an evacuation.<br />
• Decide on a standardized <strong>for</strong>m of communications so that both the <strong>Evacuation</strong><br />
Team and the stadium particiapants understand the evacuation orders. This<br />
should include both <strong>for</strong>mat and specific language that will be used to convey the<br />
type of evacuation and the execution of the evacuation plan. Use plain language<br />
that is understood by everyone.<br />
