Evacuation Planning!                                           International and Transnational Crisis


Introduction
If you have international operations or business travellers, then you need to read this
ebook. Following years of experience and numerous practical tests, I have tabled the key
factors that determine the success or failure of any evacuation plan due to international or
transnational crisis.

This ebook will analyze and discuss the planning, logistics, plan, communications and
                                                         management in order to assist
                                                          planners and managers in
                                                          developing the best possible and
                                                          adaptive evacuation plans.

                                                            By the end of this ebook, you will
                                                            immediately be able to eliminate
                                                            the majority of errors in existing
                                                            plans or commence the process
                                                            to create your own safety and
                                                            security evacuation plan.

I have written, reviewed and implemented numerous evacuation plans over the years and
have significant experience in what works and what invariably frustrates the evacuation
operations unnecessarily.

Through this extensive theoretical and practical experience I will seek to distill the primary
stages and priority tactile issues that must be considered or included in any plan to ensure
a successful outcome.

Planning
The likelihood of international evacuations remains low.

While the possibility of occurrence is low, it is still smart business and continuity planning
that mandates evacuation plans be developed and maintained.

Companies may not be blamed for the events that lead to an evacuation but they will
certainly be measured and held accountable for their level of preparedness and results, no
matter the underlying events that lead to an international or transnational evacuation.

While it may be obvious, the final success of any evacuation plan is determined by the way
in which the planning is conducted and the detail in which the process identifies and
allocates information and resources to broad and specific scenarios.

Suite of Plans

The evacuation plan is not the umbrella documentation or process and is highly dependent
on supporting strategies and plans such as business continuity, crisis management,
emergency management and will not be covered in the scope of this ebook.

Evacuation Planning!                                            International and Transnational Crisis

Evacuation plans are the result of a need or trigger to evacuate or relocate affected
personnel to a non-affected area and the conditions and triggers for such decisions is a
topic of another paper.

Also not included with the scope of this ebook.

Effective planning needs to identify the circumstances (and assumptions) in which an
evacuation will be conducted.

Have You Considered?

Will the local environment be hostile and non-permissive to independent move or will it be
the result of wide-spread services disruption and more of an administrative move to a
more sustainable and safer environment?

Will the evacuation be a short move to a non-affected area within the same country or
region or will it require a long tail support process to return all affected evacuees to their
home countries?

The time in which the need for evacuation is realized may be very
well scripted or dynamically trigged by instantaneous events.

Therefore it requires multi-timing activation to include
when
!      Evacuees are co-located,
!      Multi-location evacuation site,
!      Anomalies such as when children are away on
a school excursion,
!      Sympathetic pressures (i.e.: everyone else is
scrambling to leave),
!      Insurance policy terms and conditions,
!      Regardless of the external circumstances,
!      And when the personal risk tolerance of
affected individuals is rapidly approaching.

How the sponsoring entity (business or NGO) will
implement the plan.

Whether they are able and competent enough to
independently execute the plan or whether they have full or partial
support from specialist providers and services.

Any-and-all diversity or conventional definitions that complicate emergency relocation and
evacuation operations such as nationality of evacuees, country of origin, blended families,
local partners or dependents and extended families that may culturally assume their
inclusion.

Life safety and security standards in which the entity will hold themselves to in the event of
an evacuation.

This includes accommodation, transport, medical, food, water, threats, residual risk and
emergency intervention to assertively influence the outcome of a deteriorating situation.

Shelter-in-Place

There is always a window-of-opportunity for evacuations and emergency relocations that
may be missed or the threat outweighs the benefit actions of moving people under current
circumstances.

All planning must be inclusive of full or partial “shelter-in-place” demands that requires
evacuees to remain in location (this may be a location of your choosing or the nearest
safest refuge) until it is safe or beneficial to move again.

Stakeholders

Engagement and collaboration of key stakeholders is paramount
at this stage as many plans fail due to failed assumptions or lack
of understanding of the scope and capabilities of identified and
likely stakeholders.

Record Keeping

Input and advice should always be recorded and analyzed even
if not featured in the final plan.

This information should be accessible or referenced in the
event that a constraint or situation that was dismissed does in
fact take place, then the expertise and advice supplied in the
planning can be accessed, assessed and acted upon in a
timely fashion without necessarily chasing down the
originating individual or department.

Always document and communicate assumptions.

The risk tolerance of affected personnel, providers (aircraft, hotels,
drivers, etc), governments and internal stakeholders can never be
100% identified in advance.

Be clear on where your planning focused and allow for human emotions, graphic images,
family pressure and internal panic to all play a significant role on the day of the event
despite the calm and clarity achieved during planning.

Transport

Multi-transport planning considerations are a must.

There is always more than one way to move people either domestically or internationally.

Albeit there are faster and more expedient methods but a simple short haul via an
alternate transport means to another (possibly even safer) area may make the difference
between a move or no move scenario.
Copyright Tony Ridley 2011!                                                           Page 7 of 20

Aircraft

Aircraft providers will always be cognizant of the insurance liabilities, the cost of one
evacuation versus the cost of their aircraft investment, support ground facilities, clearance
and their own crewʼs service safety standards or threat tolerances.

This will also be the case for road, train and water based transport providers.
What Have I Forgotten?

Donʼt forget the little things.

Departure stamps and taxes, baby formula, identification, customs and immigrations,
medicine, health, fatigue, stress, fear, weather, holidays, culture, food, water, clothes, pets,
media, luggage and many other issues have and will be the undoing of an evacuation plan
if not considered and planned in advance.

It is unlikely that any company or department will have all the required skills and resources
available internally for an international or transnational evacuation or that they may even
have them on stand-by at a momentʼs notice, so it is important that all resources be
identified and documented within the supporting logistics plan.

Logistics
Logistics relates to all the resources, cost, support and
administration required to come together during an
evacuation.

Accommodation requirements fall into three broad
categories.

Private accommodation, as usually occupied by the
traveller or expat in country.

Evacuation accommodation, such as the pre-
identified and planned accommodation to be used in
the event of an evacuation that may or may not be part
of your existing/routine accommodation plan.

Ad-hoc accommodation, such as taking immediate refuge at a school, shelter, shopping
complex or embassy as was necessitated by the sudden onset of events that forced
personnel into non-planned accommodation options.

All required, and likely ad-hoc accommodation, needs to be both identified and
documented in the plan.

These locations need to be independently documented in the appendices as a lift out
guide/review and put into the continually updated evacuation mapping support tools.

  • 5. Evacuation Planning! International and Transnational Crisis Introduction If you have international operations or business travellers, then you need to read this ebook. Following years of experience and numerous practical tests, I have tabled the key factors that determine the success or failure of any evacuation plan due to international or transnational crisis. This ebook will analyze and discuss the planning, logistics, plan, communications and management in order to assist planners and managers in developing the best possible and adaptive evacuation plans. By the end of this ebook, you will immediately be able to eliminate the majority of errors in existing plans or commence the process to create your own safety and security evacuation plan. I have written, reviewed and implemented numerous evacuation plans over the years and have significant experience in what works and what invariably frustrates the evacuation operations unnecessarily. Through this extensive theoretical and practical experience I will seek to distill the primary stages and priority tactile issues that must be considered or included in any plan to ensure a successful outcome. Planning The likelihood of international evacuations remains low. While the possibility of occurrence is low, it is still smart business and continuity planning that mandates evacuation plans be developed and maintained. Companies may not be blamed for the events that lead to an evacuation but they will certainly be measured and held accountable for their level of preparedness and results, no matter the underlying events that lead to an international or transnational evacuation. While it may be obvious, the final success of any evacuation plan is determined by the way in which the planning is conducted and the detail in which the process identifies and allocates information and resources to broad and specific scenarios. Suite of Plans The evacuation plan is not the umbrella documentation or process and is highly dependent on supporting strategies and plans such as business continuity, crisis management, emergency management and will not be covered in the scope of this ebook. Copyright Tony Ridley 2011! Page 5 of 20
  • 6. Evacuation Planning! International and Transnational Crisis Evacuation plans are the result of a need or trigger to evacuate or relocate affected personnel to a non-affected area and the conditions and triggers for such decisions is a topic of another paper. Also not included with the scope of this ebook. Effective planning needs to identify the circumstances (and assumptions) in which an evacuation will be conducted. Have You Considered? Will the local environment be hostile and non-permissive to independent move or will it be the result of wide-spread services disruption and more of an administrative move to a more sustainable and safer environment? Will the evacuation be a short move to a non-affected area within the same country or region or will it require a long tail support process to return all affected evacuees to their home countries? The time in which the need for evacuation is realized may be very well scripted or dynamically trigged by instantaneous events. Therefore it requires multi-timing activation to include when ! Evacuees are co-located, ! Multi-location evacuation site, ! Anomalies such as when children are away on a school excursion, ! Sympathetic pressures (i.e.: everyone else is scrambling to leave), ! Insurance policy terms and conditions, ! Regardless of the external circumstances, ! And when the personal risk tolerance of affected individuals is rapidly approaching. How the sponsoring entity (business or NGO) will implement the plan. Whether they are able and competent enough to independently execute the plan or whether they have full or partial support from specialist providers and services. Any-and-all diversity or conventional definitions that complicate emergency relocation and evacuation operations such as nationality of evacuees, country of origin, blended families, local partners or dependents and extended families that may culturally assume their inclusion. Life safety and security standards in which the entity will hold themselves to in the event of an evacuation. This includes accommodation, transport, medical, food, water, threats, residual risk and emergency intervention to assertively influence the outcome of a deteriorating situation. Copyright Tony Ridley 2011! Page 6 of 20
  • 7. Evacuation Planning! International and Transnational Crisis Shelter-in-Place There is always a window-of-opportunity for evacuations and emergency relocations that may be missed or the threat outweighs the benefit actions of moving people under current circumstances. All planning must be inclusive of full or partial “shelter-in-place” demands that requires evacuees to remain in location (this may be a location of your choosing or the nearest safest refuge) until it is safe or beneficial to move again. Stakeholders Engagement and collaboration of key stakeholders is paramount at this stage as many plans fail due to failed assumptions or lack of understanding of the scope and capabilities of identified and likely stakeholders. Record Keeping Input and advice should always be recorded and analyzed even if not featured in the final plan. This information should be accessible or referenced in the event that a constraint or situation that was dismissed does in fact take place, then the expertise and advice supplied in the planning can be accessed, assessed and acted upon in a timely fashion without necessarily chasing down the originating individual or department. Always document and communicate assumptions. The risk tolerance of affected personnel, providers (aircraft, hotels, drivers, etc), governments and internal stakeholders can never be 100% identified in advance. Be clear on where your planning focused and allow for human emotions, graphic images, family pressure and internal panic to all play a significant role on the day of the event despite the calm and clarity achieved during planning. Transport Multi-transport planning considerations are a must. There is always more than one way to move people either domestically or internationally. Albeit there are faster and more expedient methods but a simple short haul via an alternate transport means to another (possibly even safer) area may make the difference between a move or no move scenario. Copyright Tony Ridley 2011! Page 7 of 20
  • 8. Evacuation Planning! International and Transnational Crisis Aircraft Aircraft providers will always be cognizant of the insurance liabilities, the cost of one evacuation versus the cost of their aircraft investment, support ground facilities, clearance and their own crewʼs service safety standards or threat tolerances. This will also be the case for road, train and water based transport providers. What Have I Forgotten? Donʼt forget the little things. Departure stamps and taxes, baby formula, identification, customs and immigrations, medicine, health, fatigue, stress, fear, weather, holidays, culture, food, water, clothes, pets, media, luggage and many other issues have and will be the undoing of an evacuation plan if not considered and planned in advance. It is unlikely that any company or department will have all the required skills and resources available internally for an international or transnational evacuation or that they may even have them on stand-by at a momentʼs notice, so it is important that all resources be identified and documented within the supporting logistics plan. Logistics Logistics relates to all the resources, cost, support and administration required to come together during an evacuation. Accommodation requirements fall into three broad categories. Private accommodation, as usually occupied by the traveller or expat in country. Evacuation accommodation, such as the pre- identified and planned accommodation to be used in the event of an evacuation that may or may not be part of your existing/routine accommodation plan. Ad-hoc accommodation, such as taking immediate refuge at a school, shelter, shopping complex or embassy as was necessitated by the sudden onset of events that forced personnel into non-planned accommodation options. All required, and likely ad-hoc accommodation, needs to be both identified and documented in the plan. These locations need to be independently documented in the appendices as a lift out guide/review and put into the continually updated evacuation mapping support tools. Copyright Tony Ridley 2011!
