Special Facility/Special Needs Populations Planning
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita revealed how vulnerable carless and other special populations are in emergency situations. IEM special populations planning helps communities protect their most vulnerable members. Developing and improving emergency response plans and operational procedures for the elderly, disabled, and transit dependent individuals is critical to saving lives during a response and stabilizing a community following a disaster.
Solutions tailored for unique populations.
Drawing upon two decades of emergency planning experience, IEM works with all appropriate agencies within a community to help incorporate new concepts for addressing special needs populations and facilities into preparedness and response planning. IEM works with each community to tailor strategies and plans to the unique challenges of each special needs population, including people with disabilities and service animals, the elderly, and pediatric populations.
Automated planning for multi-site facilities.
IEM's automated planning process for special needs facilities helps planners build emergency response plans more efficiently for schools and other multi-site facilities. This ultimately reduces program costs and promotes facility safety by allowing rapid plan development.
