Safety and Well Being

In the event of a crisis, these are the individuals that Reliant and the field team leaders will prioritize the safety and well-being to remove away from the crisis. There should be a decision to first withdraw those that are less able to navigate a crisis away from the crisis situation. The resulting actions will be to either Shelter in Place, find a Places of Refuge, or begin Evacuation of the following individuals.

1. Minors and Vulnerable Adults: In the event of a crisis, Reliant will first and foremost prioritize the safety and physical well-being of any minors and vulnerable adults. Team members with children, and vulnerable adults will be the first to be removed to a safe location. It is possible that parental units could be split, with one parent leaving with the children, while the other stay in country. 
2. Participants and Visitors: Next, Reliant will make sure that all mission trip participants and any visitors of Reliant team members (family, friends, etc) are safely removed from the situation. 
3. Reliant Team Members: After minors, vulnerable adults, and visitors Reliant will prioritize the safety and well-being of any remaining Reliant team members. 
4. Reliant Field Leadership: Lastly, Reliant will prioritize the safety and well-being of Reliant employed Field Leaders. Oftentimes in the event of a crisis, Field Leaders are the last to be removed as they provide ground-level (real-time) leadership for everyone on the team.
