This May 2016 emergency evacuation plan for the Manus Regional Processing Centre outlines procedures for large-scale evacuation of the facility operated by Broadspectrum. The plan establishes five stages: decision to evacuate, warning, withdrawal to evacuation points, shelter provision, and return. It addresses evacuation planning considerations including decision-making authority, community awareness, security of evacuated premises, coordination mechanisms, media management, transport resources, and provisions for special-needs groups. The document details roles and responsibilities at each stage, identifies approved evacuation points and safe zones within the facility, establishes a gate numbering system for movement control, and references annexes including evacuation point locations, emergency operational areas, assembly area diagrams, facility maps, and contact details. The plan provides a framework for managing emergency situations at the regional processing centre on Manus Island, though specific operational details and evacuation capacity figures are contained in the referenced annexes.
