Corrections Crews in Disaster
Tools, Tips & Tricks of the Trade: When your incident starts expanding...start thinking of us.
Many states have correctional inmate crews that can augment disaster forces - think firefighting, sand-bagging, storm clean-up, and other activities. You need to have a plan to effectively and safely integrate these crews into your workforce within the guidelines (e.g. typically different sleeping and eating quarters, etc). You may need to work with public information in the community as well.
