Disaster planning must include a community mutual aid plan in the event that the hospital (s), nursing home(s), or other residential health care facility needs to be evacuated. Plans for evacuation of health care facilities must be realistic and achievable, and contain sufficient specific detail as to where patients will be relocated to and who will be there to care for them.

Pre-planning for the possibility of the need to evacuate entire health care facilities must address alternative modes of transportation and include adequate security measures (see Figure 1.4).

A first-order estimate of the impacts of the flood scenario can be obtained through an evaluation of the flood depth map after it has been overlaid onto an electronic version of a standard topographic map that depicts roads, buildings, and public facilities. Such maps are useful for preparing evacuation plans and selecting locations for roadblocks. The FLDWAV output files may be consulted to determine the time characteristics of the flood, such as the time from the dam breach to the onset of flooding, and the duration of flooding.

Evacuation Plans. Many emergency events require the evacuation of at least some facility personnel, if only for precautionary reasons. This presents other needs, which must be addressed in the evacuation plan. Personnel who are directed to evacuate their normal work stations need visible wind direction indicators to help them move away from a dangerous gas cloud drifting downwind of the release point. If the building is enveloped in the cloud, however, they will need personal protective equipment in order to evacuate the building safely. When there are processes that must be rapidly shut down and/or isolated as evacuation proceeds, the plan must include written procedures and appropriate means to ensure incident-free action.
