Executive Order 12656 (Assignment of Emergency Preparedness
Responsibilities) assigns Federal departments and agencies
responsibilities during emergency situations. In its supporting role to
the Departments of State and Health and Human Services (HHS), the
Department of Defense will assist in planning for the protection,
evacuation and repatriation of U.S. citizens in threatened areas
overseas. The DD Form 2585, ``Repatriation Processing Center Processing
Sheet,'' has numerous functions, but is primarily used for personnel
accountability of all evacuees who process through designated
Repatriation Centers. During processing, evacuees are provided
emergency human services, including food, clothing, lodging, family
reunification, social services and financial assistance through federal
entitlements, loans or emergency aid organizations. The information,
once collected, is input into the Automated Repatriation Reporting
System, and is available to designated offices throughout Departments
of Defense, State, Health and Human Services, the American Red Cross
and State government emergency planning offices for operational
inquiries and reporting and future planning purposes.
