In case of a horrific disaster you’re always supposed to have a plan of action, and in case it doesn’t work you’re in need of a backup plan. For example, pretend as if a zombie apocalypse has occurred and we are playing the role of the policemen and firemen in the community that has just been attacked by the infected. Our job is to ensure that the women, men, and children are safe. However in order to protect the city we need to evacuate the people, communicate to the survivors we were left behind, find a means of transporting the citizens to safe locations, and shelter the ones who no longer have a home or a safe place to live temporarily.
Our first step is to evacuate the citizens before they are attacked by the infected, but we must

We will visit as many houses, facilities, and many other buildings to locate everyone. The police department will be in charge of making sure everyone exits the building safely, to check people for infection, and to direct the non-effected to the nearest escape route. Before we leave we will instruct the citizens to pack lightly with essentials such as food, bottled water, and first aid kits. Also, we want to take the highest safety precautions when dealing with infected because we do not want any other to become infected so masks will be handed out for airborne diseases.
To continue the evacuation process the police department will direct and lead the citizens that will travel on foot. With traveling on foot heavy firearms will be handled by the police in order to protect the citizens in case of an attack. With the firearms, some of the first aid kits and food rations will travel with those on foot in order to prevent as many stops or delays in time. To travel as quickly, effectively, and no casualties is the main goal. A scouting party will be above in a helicopter to see any infected that might have slipped our previous scouting.
Along with the police department, the fire department will transport anyone with special needs, disabilities, and basically anyone who cannot walk distances to the safe locations. In transporting these citizens: cars, buses, RVs, ATVs, and any other type of mobile
These prevention interventions would be started as early as the 2nd phase, and throughout the 5th phase. I would enroll the collaboration of the CDC, FEMA, Red Cross, National Guards, other military personnel, medical staff, volunteers and myself. The more man power there is available to screen the people, the more that can get done and more effectively.
According to http://www.ready.gov/business/implementation/emergency explains the steps that need to be taken and the importance of an emergency plan. “When an emergency occurs, the first priority is always life safety. The second priority is the stabilization of
These consist of bomb alerts, fire evacuation and first aid. These procedures are produced to give help to everyone at the place of the emergency. Everyone, especially adults must be aware of what to follow during an emergency to ensure everyone stays safe.

Residents will be taken to an evacuation centre run by the local council. Staff should take spare clothes but essentionals such as food, drink and bedding will be provided, essential things such as medication and care items such as feeder beakers and baby bottles should also be taken if possible.
Having these plans in place give the Disaster Recovery team the instructions they need when disaster strikes

“Everybody! We must evacuate the city! The Americans will attack the city soon. Leave all your belongings behind, the Organisation will take care of them. Follow the soldiers.”
Disaster relief operations are complex systems having more to them than just a response mechanism. They require a significant amount of pre-planning.
The emergency events caused by infectious disease, natural or anthropogenic causes with the potential to overwhelm or otherwise disrupt routine local capacities due to their timing, scale or unpredictability should be communicated properly and routinely which requires rapid knowledge transfer and uptake (Khan et al., 2017, p. 2).

A typical day here includes large pickup trucks roaming around town picking up and dropping off infected corpses. The CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has provided the indigenous people with treatment facilities, medication and staff to help diminish the severity of the outbreak. The townspeople have took it
As chief of police and fire, we would recommend all citizens make their way to one of our military safe zones, or shelters, and wait for evacuation. We will evacuate citizens based on need. The elderly, injured, and disabled will be our first priority of getting out of the city. Since they will be the least fit to protect themselves and others in case of emergency, it is essential to have help from caregivers and family members when transporting those less fortunate. Evacuation will happen during daylight hours to minimize possible complications. Furthermore, no more than fifty people will be evacuated at a time to help keep evacuations as safe and quick as possible. We will evacuate citizens by plane to nearby uninfected cities and further plans for survival will be discussed upon their arrival. If citizens choose to evacuate on their own, we recommend they travel east or west by car or plane. That being said, we highly recommend that all of our citizens choose our method of evacuation. This will keep infection, injuries, and casualties low so all of our citizens can have the best chance
Considering the attack, several extra facilities would need to be set up including decontamination units. Considering that this attack has affected a massive amount of land, unknown amount of victims, overwhelms local resources, and needs a massive amount of diverse resources; a wide area search and rescue would need to be completed to try to save as many people as possible.
In some instances, COPs may find themselves in dangerous situations where there may be many casualties or situations that my demand that the medical staff needs to protect themselves as much as they need to protect their patients- the COPs. As much as evacuation is essential, there is need to provide adequate information through information sharing systems. This can be classified under their preventive role in a bid to approach the job in a proactive manner. Through this the COPs may have basic and fundamental knowledge of what to do in certain
