| 摘要： | The coastal communities of the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGM), which stretches from Florida to Louisiana, are predominantly rural and are under the constant threat of hurricanes each fall. In the last five years, deadly hurricanes such as Katrina, Rita, Ivan, and others have required mass evacuations and other major emergency transportation services to be deployed. The rural transportation network is a major component of a larger, multimodal system that is critical for mobility of people, goods and services. Rural roads have a larger role in evacuation than is currently recognized. The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the use of rural transportation infrastructure in evacuation operations through the investigation of current evacuation practices in the NGM, in which the communities are predominantly rural. A survey of emergency management agencies (EMAs) and district departments of transportation (DOTs) was conducted to gather information about evacuations in this region. The findings of this research project are thought to be useful in improving rural evacuations. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Mississippi State Univ., Biloxi.
