The intensity of wildfires in Glacier National Park is increasing every year. However, the Park does not have comprehensive post-evacuation plans for employees. We worked with park personnel to plan and care for evacuated employees working and living in the Headquarters District. We created the “Fire on the Horizon” exercise and other activities to determine priorities and elicit concerns about evacuation procedures. We developed an Incident Action Plan and other resources to facilitate planning for a potential evacuation of headquarters.
