Notes:
1 Manpower must be organized, trained, certified (if required), credentialed (as required), equipped, exercised, evaluated, maintained, and sustained as
specified in this publication.
2 Staffing for entry control points (ECPs) and TCPs as assigned by installation law enforcement with supporting guidance from Installation ATO for terrorism
incidents.
3 Based upon (2) special needs, (2) school/childcare, and (2) animal needs collection points for each Type.
4 Collection points for pre-arranged bus, mass transit, rail, ferry, or aviation transportation of Category 2TR, 2SN, 2SC, 2PR, and 2AN populations.
5 Based upon 1 radio per collection point. ECP and TCP radios may be provided by existing law enforcement or security personnel stationed at locations
and augmented to evacuation management team members, as available.
6 Signs should be visible at each ECP, TCP, collection point entrance/exit, and at every intersection along established evacuation routes as identified in the
installation EM plan.
7 Based upon 30, 15, and 10 per collection point estimates. Local requirements may vary.
8 Based upon 1 per collection point.
9 Based upon total personnel at max requirement (night operations) minus number of EOC and/or liaison positions.
10 As needed to augment existing lighting. Total number based upon actual needs and local conditions. Depends upon existing lighting sources for identified
areas.
11 See table 13–1 for training set information.
12 As necessary to support assigned functions.
13 Training requirement dependent upon fielding of HURREVAC to installation.
14 Online training available at http://training.esri.com. Training requirement dependent upon fielding of HAZUS–MH to installation.
15 For collection points only. Supports Category 2TR, 2SN, 2SC, and 2AN populations. Total number of vehicles and therefore evacuees depends on local
conditions (total protected populace, number of ECPs, number of routes, and transport capacity of identified routes).
16 Assumes 2 buses per loading station per hour.
17 Assumes 2 buses per loading station per hour. Resulting estimates based upon median load of adult passengers in
18 Planning estimate only. Resulting estimates based upon median load of 48 adult passengers in United States. commercial motor coaches and U.S.
school buses (Type A–D models) averaged across models.
12–3. Mass care operations
a. Overview. Mass care operations consist of all community preparedness, interagency coordination, mass warning
and notification, installation EOC, FAC, and field activities necessary to initiate and manage the care for personnel
displaced for any duration due to any emergency. Mass care operations include meeting the needs of those displaced
personnel by providing family assistance, safe haven or access to civilian shelter, food and water, emergency supplies,
emergency pharmaceuticals, and other goods from the time they are displaced until the time they all return to the
original residence or workplace. As evacuation moves a population at risk from one or more hazards, mass care
operations supports that populace during the response and recovery phases. Mass care operations must overcome
multiple organizational, logistical, and social challenges in a chaotic environment and requires significant efforts during
the Preparedness Phase, especially in emergency planning and community preparedness, in order to be executed
successfully by the installation commander. Mass care operations are undertaken as part of the comprehensive effort to
reduce the risk associated with hazards identified in chapter 5.
b. Goals. The goals of mass care operations are include the following:
(1) Tto protect assigned personnel who have been displaced from their residence or workplace as part of a protective
action (such as Shelter-in-Place or Evacuation)
(2) To coordinate the delivery of goods and services to the protected populace during an emergency with activities
of identified Category 1 and 5 personnel
c. Evacuation, rather than the procurement and employment of protective equipment, is the primary means of
addressing hazards faced by the protected populace and mass care operations are an integral part of protecting and
caring for those evacuees.
d. Requirement. All EM programs shall develop, exercise, and maintain procedures for mass care operations for
assigned personnel upon standing, verbal, or written orders of the installation commander. Mass care procedures shall
include the capability to activate and manage the following:
(1) The FAC on the installation.
(2) The SIP operations in one or more installation zones (see chap 4).
(3) Local safe haven operations consisting of one or more facilities on the installation.
(4) Coordination with one or more civilian shelters provided by one or more civil jurisdictions
