Payments: </span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Evacuation payments are made when employees/family member(s) are authorized or ordered to evacuate a foreign post. Evacuation payments consist of (1) a subsistence allowance to help cover the costs of lodging and meals; (2) local transportation allowance at the safehaven when a personally owned vehicle is not available; (3) an air freight replacement allowance if air freight is not shipped from post; and (4) a pet shipment and required quarantine allowance to assist with getting the family pet or pets out of and return to the foreign post of assignment. Subsistence amounts are based on the safehaven's per diem rate and the lodging calculation differs if occupying commercial or non-commercial quarters. Evacuation payments terminate no later than 180 days after the evacuation order is issued unless the evacuation order has been extended past the 180 day mark (rare) and an employee's account for 180 days of subsistence has not been reached.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Generally, the United States and non-foreign areas (the 50 United States, the District of Columbia,  territories, possessions, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) are designated as the official U.S. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">safehaven.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">  </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">When necessary, an official foreign safehaven may be designated.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">  </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Evacuees are required to go to the official U.S. or official foreign safehaven to receive evacuation benefits/allowances.
