- Specialized Sheltering Template [pdf] -
A critical consideration when addressing evacuation planning for persons with special and functional needs is the importance of identifying, locating, inventorying, and assessing physical site
locations that are ideally suited to serve as specialized shelters during times of crisis. This guidance differentiates specialized shelters from general population shelters and offers a baseline set
of processes and procedures that will aid in the identification of resources - including physical assets and staffing - and provides the necessary guidance and direction in establishing and operating
specialized shelters. It provides the minimal and optimal criteria for a specialized shelter and serves as an operational checklist for compliancy.
