The stadium’s Emergency Plan should contain guidance and procedures for
the activation and mobilization of staging areas associated with an evacuation.
Information should be provided on the designated location(s), personnel,
equipment (i.e., decontamination, air monitoring), and other resources needed
for activating, operating and demobilizing a staging area.

The stadium’s Emergency Plan should contain guidance and procedures for
Mass Care/Family Assistance (a scalable Emergency Support Function 6)
once the stadium spectators and participants have been transported to staging
area(s). Health and medical support for the evacuation of casualties should
encompass the organic medical response assets at the stadium, in addition to
incorporating the local Emergency Management Services (EMS) authorities’
Mass Casualty Plan.

and local hospitals, and home care agencies that comprise the community
Mass Casualty Plan.
