3. Functional Needs Evacuation <br />a. Institutions within the County are responsible for developing procedures for <br />evacuation of their facilities. These plans include procedures for the rapid evacuation <br />of a facility or in -place sheltering. The evacuation plans must include the numbers <br />and types of vehicles, the vehicles available at the facility, the total number of <br />patients /residents at full capacity, any special needs for transportation (such as <br />wheelchair lifts), and the medical supplies and equipment needed to assist the <br />patients. The staff of the facility evacuates with the patients /residents and remains <br />with them at the shelter. <br />b. The County and local jurisdictions make every effort to provide vehicles and <br />personnel to assist with the evacuation. Ambulatory patients and the staff of the <br />medical facilities in the County will be evacuated in buses or vans. Ambulances and <br />vans will be provided for evacuation of non - ambulatory individuals, if available, but <br />these patients may be carried in other vehicles if the situation requires it. <br />c. A widespread emergency will force emergency responders to prioritize evacuation <br />efforts based on the threat to life and public safety. This may delay the evacuation of <br />those with functional needs. The Incident Commander or his representative informs <br />the facility staff of this and they prepare to continue care during this period. <br />d. The County and municipal school systems have developed evacuation procedures and <br />routes for each school. Designated buses will be utilized for students at all facilities <br />and for those students without their own vehicles at high schools. Schools within the <br />danger zone for a hazardous material release have developed procedures for in -place <br />sheltering and "walk- away" evacuations. The Public Information Officers for the <br />school system and the County coordinate their efforts and advise parents of the <br />designated reception centers for the students. Private schools and state - licensed <br />childcare /preschool facilities develop similar plans for their facilities. <br />e. During incidents involving hazardous material release or criminal activity at or near <br />the school, parents will not be allowed to enter the area and pick up their children. <br />Law enforcement personnel on the scene will prevent personnel not involved in the <br />incident response to enter the area or disrupt the evacuation. <br />f. The Public Information Officer will provide a telephone number(s) to the public for <br />physically handicapped or disabled persons without transportation. The Cabarrus <br />County Public Transportation Department Director will arrange pick -up of these <br />individuals and move them to a shelter or reception area. The Department of Human <br />Services and the Emergency Management Department will advise the Public <br />Transportation Director of individuals known to need transportation assistance. <br />g. The Public Transportation Director will ensure that all vehicles are ready for <br />operations and have sufficient drivers for continuous operations. As necessary, the <br />Cabarrus County EOP — Annex K <br />Attachment number 11 <br />F -6 Page 260 <br />
