An Integrated Scenario-based Hurricane Evacuation Management Tool to Support Community Preparedness

Emergency managers, industry partners, and researchers are working together to develop an operational, next generation decision support tool that will dramatically advance emergency managers’ ability to manage hurricane evacuations effectively and efficiently. It will help emergency managers decide when and where to issue official evacuation orders as a hurricane approaches land, in a way that accounts for the dynamic and uncertain nature of the situation.
