Which of the following is NOT a category of personnel in NEO planning?

• A. Those who can be ordered
• B. Those who are entitled but cannot be ordered
• C. Those seeking assistance
• D. Facilitators

Answer: (D)

In NEO planning, personnel are grouped by their ability and right to be evacuated or to receive assistance, which helps set evacuation priorities and allocate limited resources. The three main groups are those who can be ordered to depart, those who are entitled to assistance but cannot be ordered to leave, and those who are actively seeking evacuation relief. Facilitators, while important to the operation as coordinators or support staff, are not a categorized group of evacuees or eligible recipients under this framework. They participate in the process, but they aren’t treated as one of the evacuation categories for prioritization, which is why they’re not considered a category of personnel in NEO planning.
