ANNEX VI: EVACUATION AND REENTRY PLAN <br /> I. INTRODUCTION <br /> While the southeastern region of Florida is one of the most hurricane <br /> vulnerable areas of the United States, it is not the only disaster condition <br /> which may trigger an evacuation. Events such as wildfires, hazardous <br /> materials incidents or radiological incidents may also prompt an evacuation <br /> of residents within Indian River County. <br /> When a disaster event displaces residents from their homes due to an <br /> evacuation, a community must also be prepared for an orderly reentry of <br /> those residents. <br /> II. PURPOSE <br /> The purpose of this plan is to provide direction into the procedures necessary <br /> to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation and reentry into areas impacted by a <br /> disaster event. <br /> III. SCOPE <br /> The provisions of this plan are county-wide and are applicable for all <br /> hazards. This plan is a functional annex to the Indian River County CEMP <br /> and provides a specific set of guidelines to reduce the vulnerability of the <br /> people and property of Indian River County. <br /> IV. APPLICABILITY <br /> In addition to this plan, any assigned law enforcement agency (Sheriff's <br /> Office, municipal police departments, Florida Highway Patrol)will be guided <br /> by their individual emergency plans. <br /> Indian River County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Annex V- Page 1 <br />
