    Evacuation Sites

    So I'm working on my emergency/disaster plan and I have no idea what to put down as an evacuation site... It has to be within walking distance because I do not have a car to transport the kids in. We have businesses/schools/daycare centers near by but I would have to walk along very busy/fast street and then cross it. There is a park near by through my neighborhood but it a few miles away.
    I'm not sure which place i should use.

    What is your evacuation site?
    How far away is it?
    How would you get there?

    Oh, also do i need to notify the location that i am using them as an evacuation site???

    Licensing in my state requires I have an evacuation site 3 miles away in case of a chemical spill.

      Sorry, I didn't finish...Yes, I had to notify the evacuation site and have clients sign an emergency plan for dc and then give them a copy for what protocol would be for each disaster. I pray this NEVER happens due to the transportation issue. Normally, I do not transport and do not want to face a lawsuit....licensing has assured me I am covered but???????
