Federal Evacuation Planning Assumptions
Federal Evacuation Planning Assumptions : "Federal evacuation measures will be taken: (1) When State, tribal, or local governments indicate that their resources may or have become overwhelmed and the Governor(s) or tribal official(s) request Federal assistance; or (2) In catastrophic incidents when State and local governments are incapacitated, and the President directs that Federal mass evacuation support is required". (FEMA, Mass Evacuation Incident Annex (National Response Framework), June 2008, p. 2)
