In the event that all or most of the campus must be evacuated, an Incident Command Post and/or EOC should be established, using ICS management principles.

The Director of Residence Life and Associate Director of Housing & Dining Services could be established as the Joint Operations Section Chiefs.

The Logistics Section Chief should determine transportation needs and plan for a First Aid station to be set up at the evacuation reception center, at either Rasmuson Hall or The Gorsuch Commons. Depending on the nature of the evacuation, the First Aid station may need to be upgraded to a triage center. AFD medics would be called in and coordinate with the Health Center director for this purpose.

The Campus Operations director should recall all shuttle drivers and fleet vehicles. They should stage at Gordon Hartlieb Hall (GHH) if that facility is in a safe zone and wait for orders.

The Planning Section Chief should develop a plan to evacuate people from affected buildings to the closest safe zone where larger vehicles, such as shuttles or People Mover buses, can move evacuees to a reception center. A Documentation Unit should be set up to register evacuees' names and where they can be contacted later (such as at an evacuation center, friend's home, etc.)

The Anchorage Fire Department (AFD) and UPD will provide warning to those in harm's way for the need to evacuate, using public address systems, UAA Advancement staff, and personal contact. They will conduct building searches if needed and will mark each building evacuated when a search is completed.
