| 摘要： | The Hurricane Katrina disaster has raised concern that government at all levels is not adequately prepared to respond to major disasters or catastrophic incidents and, in particular, is not well prepared to assist members of the public who, by virtue of their age, ability, income, national origin, or medical history, will have specific mobility, sheltering, communications, or other special needs in emergency events. This report reviews the extent to which transit providers, metropolitan planning organizations, and state departments of transportation in selected metropolitan regions in the United States and Puerto Rico are identifying and addressing the needs of populations that may be especially vulnerable in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. The report suggests that targeted outreach and assistance measures as well as coordination amongst local transportation and emergency management agencies would help local agencies be better prepared to assist populations with specific needs in emergencies. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Mundle and Associates, Inc., Philadelphia, PA.
