Army Emergency Management Program - Federation of American ...

Activation will detail when, where, and for how long the team is to be activated (which may be modified by the
installation EOC’s discretion). The evacuation management branch liaison team will report to the installation EOC.
Upon assembly at their designated staging area, the field components of the evacuation management team shall activate
pre-coordinated evacuation routes through the coordinated deployment of Army law enforcement for traffic control,
fielding of variable message boards, signage, cones, and directional markers along evacuation routes and initiation of
reverse-laning/contra-flow operations, if required to increase capacity. Field components of the evacuation management
team will staff each predesignated collection point as shown in table 12–1. In order to monitor and report status of
evacuation operations to the installation EOC, the evacuation management will (1) provide the evacuation management
branch function within the operations section of the installation EOC during the response phase (or as directed), (2)
coordinate information with the personnel accountability activities and the FAC (or EOC liaison). The evacuation
management team will coordinate reception of evacuees with receiving safe haven management teams and/or civilian
shelters and report status of evacuation operations until all Category 2–4 personnel and those Category 1 or 5 personnel
unassigned for the specific emergency have been evacuated and accounted for at their receiving locations. The
evacuation management team shall then develop an evacuee return plan for phased or mass return of evacuees from all
receiving locations and provide the evacuee return plan to the installation EOC planning section via the evacuation
management branch staff. When directed during the recovery phase, the evacuation management team shall execute the
evacuee return plan, staff predesignated collection points for return transfer of assisted evacuees, monitor implementation
and progress, and report to the installation EOC, as directed. The evacuation management team may be demobilized
by the installation EOC, when required.
e. Management. Evacuation management teams consist of law enforcement, transportation, public works, and
logistics personnel along with Army community service liaisons. Evacuation management teams, especially in Type III
installations, may include additional duty personnel and volunteers, as needed. The team organization and composition
shall be identified in the installation EM plan, shall be categorized as Category 5 emergency responders, and shall be
issued appropriate identification and safety equipment (for example, radios, vests, rain gear, lights, whistle) regarding
their assignment. It is the responsibility of the installation EMWG to ensure that issues regarding access control,
transportation, and pay/compensation are addressed pre-incident during the preparedness phase. The evacuation management
teams are typed resources as indicated in table 12–1.
f. Equipment. Evacuation management teams require adequate transportation, workspace, communications capabilities
and capacity, and supplies in order to perform its assigned tasks as detailed in table 12–1.
g. Army resource typing definitions. As detailed in chapter 9, Army installations develop, field, and maintain NIMS
Tier Two assets (defined as local, non-EMAC resources) for their EM program. The below resource typing definitions
are local definitions only and should be frequently socialized with local civil jurisdictions (and host nations). Army
installations may align to local standards given the same service output and performance objectives. See table 12–1 for
detailed information.
