Evacuation Planning
Move people safely. Account for everyone. Stay in control.
Effective evacuation planning protects lives and keeps you in control during fast-moving emergencies. We support municipalities, First Nations, and private-sector organizations with clear, practical strategies for safely relocating staff, residents, and the public in a range of scenarios, from a building fire to a community-wide wildfire evacuation.
Grounded in the Incident Command System
Our plans are built on the Incident Command System (ICS), with clear roles, responsibilities, and decision-making structures for evacuation operations. We focus on internal coordination, accountability, and interoperability, so your teams, procedures, and communication protocols work smoothly under pressure and connect with emergency services.
What you get
- Evacuation triggers, alert levels, and decision authority
- Route design, assembly areas, and alternate locations
- Procedures for counting and confirming that everyone is safe
- Support for people who need help evacuating, and for vulnerable populations
- Communication and notification procedures
- Coordination with fire, police, and emergency services
- Re-entry and return procedures
- Site and evacuation maps, plus drills to validate the plan
How it works
1
Find out
A focused Readiness Diagnostic: we talk with your leaders and the people who do the work, and check the assumptions that matter most.
2
Decide
Your Finding Briefing shows what’s working, what would break first, and what your leaders need to decide.
3
Build and practise
We turn those decisions into plans your people help write, then test them with an exercise.
Who it’s for
Municipalities and regional districts. First Nations communities. Workplaces, campuses, healthcare and senior care facilities, hospitality, and multi-tenant properties, including organizations meeting provincial OHS evacuation requirements.
The result
A structured evacuation capability that reduces confusion, supports effective command, and keeps people safe during critical incidents.
