U.S. Department of Transportation

Emergency Comm and Evacuation (EVAC)

§Addresses the needs of two different evacuee groups:

1.Those using their own transportation

oDynamic route guidance information

oCurrent traffic and road conditions

oLocation of available lodging

oLocation of fuel, food, water, cash machines and other necessitates

2.Those requiring assistance

oIdentify and locate people who are more likely to require guidance and assistance

oIdentify existing service providers and other available resources


	With respect to the Emergency Communications & Evacuation application bundle we are really trying to address the needs of the different groups of people that are being evacuated – those who have their own transportation, and those requiring assistance:

	With respect to those using their own transportation, the intent of the application bundle is to provide motorists with a range of data, including
				oDynamic route guidance information,
				oCurrent traffic and road conditions,
				oLocation of available lodging, and
				oLocation of fuel, food, water, cash machines and other necessitates
				With respect to those requiring assistance, we are really trying to attempt to identify those requiring mobility services, identifying the services to accommodate these travelers, and making the connection between the two.
