I am working on a project that includes regular occupants and occupants that will only be there in a disaster situation. 10 of these occupants will be house in the facility 24/7 for 10 days in a disaster situation. How do I account for this temporary "residential" component in the FTE calculation?

Luis,I would suggest contacting GBCI about this question as I haven't heard of this sittuation before. My inclination would be not to include them at all, but GBCI may think differently. Good luck!

Thanks Emily. I did send a message to GBCI, but the team is waiting to move forward and this will affect several credits. I was hopping to get an answer or at least an idea earlier. I can always be conservative, but that will be an extreme case for such a large amount of people (from 14 to 160).
