In your main post, continuing with a focus on preparedness and moving on toward mitigation, complete the following:

Continuing with the same scenario you created for the Tabletop Exercise discussion in this unit, your emphasis in this discussion is on how you will plan to successfully implement a vertical evacuation.

In your main post:

• Provide a rationale for why the location you have chosen is appropriate. For example, is the structure strong enough for the envisioned use?
• Determine whether there is enough capacity in the structure to contain the predicted number of people who will need protection.
• Suggest a way to provide informed “shelter supervisors” for your chosen site.
• Explain why it is important to estimate the length of time protection will be necessary.
• Summarize ways to implement an orderly movement of appropriate numbers of people from threatened areas to the chosen location.
