7.3 Resources and Equipment

The resources and equipment required for this phase should be minimal, most likely nothing more than the documentation of evacuation processes and procedures taken throughout the course of the actual event. Each agency should be prepared to evaluate and critique the overall execution of the evacuation plan as well as the content of the evacuation plan document. In addition, agencies should complete an inventory of equipment and supplies used for the evacuation and restock as necessary.

7.4 Coordination

This phase requires that all of the agencies involved in the evacuation process be able to meet at the same time and be prepared to provide information/documentation relating to the evacuation process and operations. This could be accomplished via teleconference, video conference, face-to-face meeting, etc.

After the post-evacuation talks have ended, all lessons learned should be documented. The lessons learned document could then be used to update the existing evacuation plan in the advanced planning phase, hence returning all agencies to the initial phase of evacuation transportation management.
