Preparatory steps. Advance Planning - DOS and DOD will: ▪ Identify as early as possible potential "Hot Spots" that could require evacuations. DOS will estimate the number of private Americans and TCNs and HCNs who could potentially be offered evacuation assistance and will continue the present practice of sharing updated Emergency Action Plans (EAPS) and F-77 information with DOD and the responsible regional CINCS. ▪ Continue to issue Consular warning notices to private American citizens and reduce the number of official Americans and their family members as the crisis builds. This information is presently and will continue to be made public so that third countries can minimize their own vulnerabilities. ▪ Prepare annually a personal message from the Under Secretary for Political Affairs to all Chiefs of Mission (COMs), emphasizing the critical importance of advance planning for any possible crisis. -- Conduct appropriate travel by interagency teams to selected posts deemed to be most at risk of crisis. Teams will assist posts in advance planning such as reviewing EAPs and F- 77s, conducting security assessments, reviewing warden systems, and providing appropriate training. -- The WLG will meet to discuss its role in interagency coordination of logistical aspects of drawdown/evacuations.
