Definition of General Population

Overall No standard definition of what encompasses General Population.Special needs, critical transportation needs, general population, all meansomething different to different people.

Louisiana uses the term Critical Transportation Needs (CTNs): Generalpopulation who have no means of evacuation on their own

Texas uses General Special Needs: (Categories 1- 5) General populationeneral populationwho have no means of evacuation on their ownwho have no means of evacuation on their own

Planning for GenPop Air Evacuation

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

There were several lessons learned, from the DOD/FEMARegion VI Louisiana and Texas hurricane air evacuation

efforts.

One major lesson was that a generic state/territoryevacuation by air planning template (or guide) would be a

great planning tool for DOD to provide, through FEMANational and Region Headquarters, to all state, territory,and major metropolitan lead emergency managers.

As a result of this LL, USNORTHCOM/J4 developed theGeneral Population Evacuation by Air Planning Guide. Theguide was officially sent out by Gen Renuart to all State TAGsand DCOs in June 2008.

The General Population Evacuation byAir Planning Guide- What is It?

The General Population Evacuation By Air

Planning Guide isA generic airlift support planning guide forDepartment of Defense (DoD) to provide, throughFederal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

National and Region Headquarters, to all state,territory, and major metropolitan area leademergency managers.

Guide is located at the N-NC J4 Log & Engineering (NDDOC) Web Site below:

Who is it for?

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

Planning guide is for release to FEMA National andRegion Headquarters planners, DefenseCoordinating Officers (DCOs), and USNORTHCOMComponent Commands; with the intent that these

planners will pass the Guide on to all state,territory, and major metropolitan area leademergency managers.


8/15

How should it be used?

UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED

The General Population Evacuation By Air PlanningGuide provides a framework for the state or territory to

plan, coordinate, and execute evacuation-by-airoperations;

It is intended as a tool for any state, territory, and majormetropolitan area emergency managers to use.

This guide provides a list of questions (primarily found in

Enclosure 1), the answers to which provide the informationneeded by DoD (USNORTHCOM and USTRANSCOM) toeffectively support an evacuation using air assets.

What can EPLOs do to help?

Stress to State Emergency Managers Groundmost effective/responsive mode of evacuation

Advocate use of the General Population by AirPlanning Guide if air evacuation is being

considered

Ensure planners at all levels, dont plan in avacuum; the more they know and understand the

plan, the better the execution

Be knowledgeable of State Evacuation Planningefforts
