Summary
Emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes, fires, civil unrest and acts of terrorism may pose a threat to the fleet and nonrevenue equipment. The decision to shelter the fleet and secure nonrevenue equipment may prevent or reduce the extent of damage from such threats. Identifying such assets in advance and preparing for contingencies reduces the need for last-minute reactionary responses that may not be optimized for the involved hazards. The transit agency may communicate and coordinate its actions with local government and emergency management staff, such as the local or regional EOC, if available.
