County transportation will be provided. <br />10.5 RECEPTION AND CARE <br />Reception Centers will be established for the purpose of expeditiously <br />clearing evacuee traffic from the evacuation routes, initial screening of <br />evacuees for contamination, and providing food service and health and <br />medical care to evacuees. <br />After a previously agreed upon length of temporary shelter stay, evacuees <br />will be mobilized and moved to other shelter locations or to temporary <br />housing. When the emergency subsides, evacuees will be allowed to <br />reenter the affected area in accordance with established procedures. <br />Following the initial screening and any required decontamination, a <br />preliminary registration consisting of name, address and telephone <br />number will be conducted. Evacuees will then be assigned to shelters <br />and provided with maps and routing instructions. <br />A second, more detailed registration of evacuees will be accomplished at <br />shelters. Personal data on evacuees will be collected by American Red <br />Cross representatives on registration forms in accordance with <br />established procedures. Registration data will be tabulated and submitted <br />to the county emergency operations center. <br />Shelters are identified as primary and secondary and capacity is based on <br />40 square feet per occupant. School shelter capacity is further identified <br />in terms of non -classroom and total.

Total capacity reflects <br />the capability of the facility to shelter evacuees with the suspension of <br />classroom activities. <br />10.6 SHELTERING (IN-PLACE) <br />In the event that a toxic cloud has become airborne and poses an <br />immediate threat to persons attempting to evacuate, the decision to <br />recommend taking shelter indoors instead of evacuation will be made by <br />Indian River County Emergency Plan for Hazardous Materials Page 71 <br />
