What is the Evacuation and Sheltering Plan?
The City of Boston has a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan covering a wide range of emergency situations. Two major sections of this plan concern evacuation and shelteringreferred to as Mass Care. These two plans provide the city’s emergency management team guidance and instructions and serve as a means of allocating resources, such as transportation. They are designed to accommodate emergency situations ranging from local incidents to mass evacuation or sheltering of large segments of the population.
