Emergency Evacuation Program (EEP)

ECC Packet Class

Sponsors and family members are responsible to take an active role in preparation for an evacuation, so that you will be better informed and able to move quickly. Preparation translates to reducing risk to you and your family. You must also understand what the U.S. Government will and will not do for you. The military and the U.S. Embassy will work to notify you of an evacuation order and move you safely and quickly away from danger. They will also attend to your basic needs of food, shelter, transportation and security.

Not all forms will be fully completed prior to arriving at the Evacuation Control Center. Complete as much information as possible and leave all other portions blank to be filled out at the ECC.

For any questions, please contact your EEP coordinator at your shop/unit or watch the video linked below.
