The objective of this research is to develop an all-hazards emergency evacuation guide for transportation and emergency management agencies that integrates the broad community of resources that are necessary to plan, train, exercise, and execute evacuations. The primary audiences are those at the state and local level who are responsible for planning (and execution or support) of an evacuation within a state, including but not limited to transportation, public safety, and emergency management. The Guide will be of interest to other entities involved in support of evacuations, including transit, paratransit, advisors on access and functional needs, fire, law enforcement, public works, and health and human services, as appropriate, to be able to mobilize evacuation resources and make well-considered tactical decisions. The Guide is designed to be applicable on a state, multi-state, or cross-jurisdictional border basis. View Report
