Evacuations In the News
Posted: 8/12/2009

Evacuation operations occur daily throughout the Nation. Local jurisdictions manage evacuations, whether a solitary building with 25 to 50 residents, a neighborhood or an entire city. Evacuation expertise lies with local authorities. To demonstrate that evacuations constitute daily emergency operations, FHWA offers a weekly summary of where events occur to aid in further research or peer-to-peer exchanges. We invite you to search the Emergency Transportation Operations Web site for more on evacuation planning and operations.
