| Abstract | This document constitutes the Impact Assessment Report for Emergency Communications for Evacuation (EVAC) in New Orleans. Response, Emergency Staging and Communications, Uniform Management, and Evacuation (R.E.S.C.U.M.E.) is a bundle of applications that targets the improvement of traffic safety and mobility during crashes and other emergencies that affect the highway network. A key R.E.S.C.U.M.E. focus is on traffic incident management and responder safety. Another is emergency communications for evacuation. The R.E.S.C.U.M.E. bundle includes the following three applications: 1. Incident Scene Pre-Arrival Staging Guidance for Emergency Responders (RESP-STG) 2. Incident Scene Work Zone Alerts for Drivers and Workers (INC-ZONE) 3. Emergency Communications for Evacuation (EVAC). Areas of interest within the EVAC application include information on traffic and road conditions, location of available lodging, and location of fuel, food, water, cash machines, and other necessities for evacuees using their own mode of transportation and those for whom transportation services were provided. The EVAC application bundle employs mobile communications technologies. This document assesses the potential impacts of EVAC through simulation that uses a model of the Greater New Orleans region. |
