Choosing an Evacuation or Accountability System
Evacuation involves more than moving people away from an immediate hazard. Organizations may also need to document who has been evacuated, their current location, transportation or destination information, and when they have been transferred, released, or reunified.
The appropriate system depends on the population being supported, facility type, evacuation plan, available personnel, documentation requirements, and how information will be transferred between response functions.
School and Campus Reunification
The STARS Student Tracking and Release System supports student identification, check-in, check-out, and documented release during evacuations, reunification operations, and exercises.
Reunification flag systems provide visible identification for functions such as entry, check-in, reunification, and exit. Options range from a single portable REUNIFY flag to a complete multi-position flag system and carrying bag.
Schools should select equipment that matches their existing reunification plan, staffing assignments, student-accountability process, release authorization procedures, and designated reunification locations.
Healthcare and Facility Evacuation
Evac123 packages support patient identification, room evacuation, transportation documentation, destination tracking, and continuity of information during healthcare or facility evacuations.
Packages are available for approximately 60, 100, or 200 evacuees, with standard or pediatric tag options. Select the package based on patient census, number of rooms or units, anticipated transportation needs, documentation procedures, and existing evacuation plan.
Review the individual product contents carefully to determine whether additional tags, receipt holders, clipboards, training materials, or replenishment supplies are required.
Firefighter Rehabilitation Accountability
The Fire REHAB Accountability System with vest and flag kit supports responder check-in, documentation, rehabilitation-area identification, and personnel accountability during extended fire and rescue operations.
Organizations should evaluate this equipment in relation to their department procedures, medical monitoring requirements, staffing, training, and applicable fireground rehabilitation standards.
Organization and Agency Purchasing
More Prepared supports schools, healthcare facilities, fire and EMS agencies, emergency management programs, government agencies, and other organizations implementing evacuation and accountability programs.
Volume pricing, purchase orders, tax-exempt ordering, replacement supplies, custom configurations, and vendor documentation are available for qualifying organizations.
