Evacuation (Strategic, Tactical, Remidial, Assisted, Directed and Spontaneous)
Evacuation (Strategic, Tactical, Remidial, Assisted, Directed and Spontaneous) : There are three stages in evacuation. Strategic evacuation during a period of international tension indicating a possible attack, when certain dependent, nonproductive people may be moved away from danger areas. Tactical evacuation during a period of warning after enemy planes have been detedted, when, if time permits, there will be a mass evacuation of people from target areas. Remedial evacuation during the period following an attack when all affected pe34rsons and those not needed for civil defense services may be removed. During any of the three types of evacuation, movement may be of three kinds: Assisted, where, in advance of attack warning, civil defense authorities may decide to encourage and assist the voluntary movement of priority groups out of danger areas so that essential workers in defense or production may remain at thir posts knowing their families are safe; directed, where, after attack warning, civil defense authorities may decide to move large segments of the population according to preattack evacuation plans; and spontaneious, where some parts of the populatin may feel it necessary for self-preservation, to remove themselves as rapidly as possible from an area they consider dangerous. Spontaneous evacuation usually will be unorganized and unsupervised and may be impractical and unwise". (FCDA, 1954 Annual Report, p. 32)
