Background

• 20 million provided in FY 2006 appropriation for
  Catastrophic Disaster Planning with specific
  reference to evacuation planning
• 11.6 million to be managed by Response Division
  to address debris schools search rescue
  temporary medical care access control reentry
  commodity pre-staging and distribution donations
  volunteer management external affairs
  hazardous materials evacuation transportation
  emergency sheltering and identified Region,
  State, local tribal concerns and critical
  infrastructure
• 8.4 million to be managed by Recovery Division
  to address transition to host communities and
  long-term issues

3
Approach and Assumptions

• Readiness efforts will focus on events that
  exemplify no-notice (major earthquake/terrorism)
• Planning venues will present a wide range of
  issues
• Partnership with many players (F/S/L, Tribal
  Nations, CUSEC, NORTHCOM, USACE, USCG, EPA,
  SANDIA, MAEC, ICDRM, etc.)
• A cooperative multi-federal agency, multi-region,
  multi-state and local government, private sector
  and tribal nation effort that includes critical
  infrastructure

4
Issue

• Hurricane Katrina/Rita demonstrated a lack of
  guidance and procedures to effectively support
  mass-relocation and hosting efforts
• Analyze capability to receive and manage evacuees
• Develop program guidance for transition from
  sheltering to temporary housing in host cities
• Develop several host city plans for evacuees
• Develop a generic template for host city plans
  for evacuees
• Interviews with key officials from cities/States
  that hosted Katrina/Rita evacuees ongoing

5
Contract Support

• Structure
• Contract will be managed by Response in
  coordination with Recovery - Contract award by
