First, imagine that you have recently been hired to your home Parish's (or County's) Office of Emergency Preparedness (Parish or County OEP) -- which of these four aspects would YOU prefer to be most involved in, and why?

a) explain why evacuation planning is important,

b) also explain why special consideration must be made for certain populations when planning for emergencies and disasters (for example, during evacuations).
