works departments (city & county) will provide materials for closing streets and signage for rerouting traffic. ESF-13 Public Safety and Security will coordinate with ESF-4 Firefighting, ESF-1 Transportation, and ESF-3 Public Works and Engineering (debris removal), and other ESFs as needed to designate primary and alternate transportation routes, and evaluate and ensure access requirements to meet response needs. Evacuations may be initiated by local officials in situations where evacuation is critical to the safety & health of the population. On-scene Incident Commanders (IC) are responsible for making evacuation decisions related to a specific incident, especially when the timeliness of such decisions is a matter of immediate life safety. In the case of a more widespread disaster, or when the decision to evacuate is not a matter of immediate life safety, such decisions will normally be made by or in coordination with senior local government officials such as the respective police chief, fire chief, emergency manager, city/county manager, mayor, and/or the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). In general, evacuation criteria will take into account variables such as the specific hazard; immediacy, seriousness & expected duration of the threat; vulnerable populations at risk; and adequacy/availability of evacuation routes and resources. Chief executives of jurisdictions being evacuated should be advised as soon as possible, according to established protocols. The IC and/or cities will keep Johnson County Emergency Management (JCEM) informed of evacuation situations with the potential to require countywide coordination or County EOC activation. Upon becoming notified, JCEM will provide necessary support and activate the County EOC as required. When activated ESF-1, ESF-9, ESF-10, ESF-15 and ESF-13 will coordinate countywide evacuation activities. The entity issuing an evacuation has the primary responsibility for notifying and informing the public of the evacuation. JCEM and/or the County EOC (when activated) can assist in information dissemination when needed. When the disaster situation has stabilized and it is again safe to return to a previously evacuated area, the authorization to allow reentry will be given by the director of the county or city EOC, the IC, or as otherwise directed. Local law enforcement may provide mobile units to assist with warning the public. (See also ESF-15 Public Information Annex).
