The role of ITS in hurricane evacuations
Moving hundreds of thousands
of people in and out of hurricane-threatened areas is a major issue for the
Georgia and Florida Departments of Transportation. The 2005 hurricane season is
an active one. What role does ITS
play in hurricane evacuations? What lessons have been
learned. What opportunities are there
for improvement?
At the ITS Georgia luncheon on July 28, 2005, Paul Clark,
Statewide Traffic Incident Management Program Manager and
Road Ranger Coordinator for the Florida Department of
Transportation and Eric Pitts, Assistant State Maintenance
Engineer for the Georgia Department of Transportation gave
excellent presentations. View their reports on how ITS is
helping to improve the movement of people.
