Such collaborations are particularly important for addressing the current climate of mistrust in government, which threatens to undermine some people’s confidence in the efficacy of life-saving protective actions ( Long et al., 2020). Emergency management, public health, social service, and other government agencies as well as nongovernmental organizations need to work together to create unified strategies to prepare for and respond to hazard threats while protecting against COVID-19. Interagency cooperation within jurisdictions is needed in addition to coordination across levels of government. Agencies also need to strengthen interjurisdictional coordination to ensure access to supplies and personnel under rapidly changing conditions ( Chin et al., 2020). For instance, county-level emergency managers may require greater support than usual from state governments to help mobilize and deploy resources, coordinate public messaging, or facilitate regional shelter planning based on internal virus transmission rates. With resources strained across government entities by the ongoing response to the pandemic, it is essential for local, state, and federal agencies typically responsible for conducting or supporting emergency evacuation, sheltering, and risk communication operations to coordinate so higher levels of government can provide assistance when the resources of lower levels of government are exceeded. Even as vaccination programs unfold, the slow pace and limited scope of vaccination will continue to necessitate changes to emergency evacuation and sheltering operations throughout 2021 and potentially beyond. 1 Most communities already have disaster preparedness plans and designated emergency planners however, concerns about transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have required significant modifications to traditional approaches for managing hazard threats.
This rapid expert consultation aims to help emergency planners and other decision makers identify strategies for updating evacuation plans, sheltering operations, and risk communication practices to prepare for hazards and disasters that may occur during the COVID-19 pandemic and during future large-scale public health threats. Developing effective public messaging is also critical during the pandemic and requires advance planning and familiarity with the needs and characteristics of the communities being served ( Box 3). To prepare for emergency events requiring evacuation, it is necessary to revise shelter planning and mass care operations, shelter staffing, and shelter design and operations with a focus on reducing virus transmission and ensuring safety ( Box 2). It includes strategies for (1) evacuation plans, (2) sheltering operations, and (3) risk communication best practices for public officials confronting hazards and disasters.Įvacuation planning that includes identifying logistical needs and understanding the processes that drive evacuation behavior is vital to preparing for extreme events that may require mass mobilization during the pandemic ( Box 1). This rapid expert consultation details what is known from research on evacuation behavior, social responses to disaster, and risk communication, as well as lessons learned from emergency managers, public health departments, local officials, and human service providers, as the second year of the pandemic unfolds.
