Application of Technology to Transportation Operations in Biohazard Situations: Final Report
This project developed a comprehensive and actionable understanding of the role of transportation agencies during a biohazard situation. The documents and tools produced during this project are intended to help state and local transportation agencies perform the roles expected of them during all phases of a biohazard incident. Those roles can differ significantly from the ones they typically perform during other types of emergencies. Included in this final report are the following: Executive Summary; Background and Purpose section; Full versions of the products from this project; Recommended Practices; and Additional Research Needs. The products from this project are: Literature Review; Workshop Summary; Transportation Biohazard Operational Concept; Transportation Activities & Applications of Technology; and Transportation Operations during Biohazard Events Learning Tool.
