Emergency Evacuation: 20-Year Evolution of Research and Practice
For many in transportation, the need to integrate evacuation planning and preparedness into the routine day-to-day operations and management of transportation modes and systems in America began on September 11, 2001 (9/11). This article highlights evacuation policy, planning, and operation innovations that have occurred in the 20 years since 9/11, as well as a brief history of conditions before 2001 and the direction of the field of evacuation. First and foremost, improved evacuation planning among transportation agencies has developed from a recognition of problems and needs and collaboration with emergency management and law enforcement counterparts to address them.
