Description:

Deciding when to evacuate coastal communities is a critical issue in hurricane emergency planning. Extensive data on the transportation system and the community are normally required, and it is usually processed by computer methods to estimate evacuation time. While computer methods are appropriate for large metropolitan areas which have the necessary technical expertise and resources, computer methods are not practical for small and many medium-size communities. This report addresses this problem and presents simplified methods which will allow the estimation of evacuation time for coastal communities which have relatively few evacuation zones and an uncomplicated network of evacuation routes. The simplified methods are demonstrated for two case study communities.
