This course provided information on what to do in an emergency when residents must be temporarily<br />

relocated. The course was presented as a seminar, with a panel of experts that included <strong>OSC</strong>s who have<br />

dealt with the issue. Participants were able to share experiences and ask questions of experienced<br />

instructors.<br />

The objectives of the course were to help participants understand the basics of temporary relocation<br />

during emergency responses, recognize the complexities involved, and learn what to do and what not to<br />

do. Among the topics addressed were:<br />

• Making the decision — is temporary relocation a viable option at your site?<br />

• Guiding principles from the Uniform Relocation Act.<br />

• Overview of Superfund guidance as it relates to emergencies.<br />

• Working with affected residents.<br />

• The types of assistance that are available.<br />

• Dealing with stress and disruption.<br />

• Replacing demolished structures.<br />

The course was designed to encourage site-specific discussions and included a case study that illustrated<br />

common issues in implementing temporary relocation. The target audience for this course was <strong>OSC</strong>s who<br />

may have to deal with this issue.<br />
