A new interactive map from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should be of great interest to preparedness-minded families: Real time evacuation Planning Model (RtePM, or “Route –P-M”) estimates the time required for evacuating vehicles to clear a user defined area for a variety of evacuation types. Using the GIS mapping data to highlight geographical areas, users can view:
Population both day and night;
Major and minor arteries, highways, and smaller roads;
The speed limits of those roads versus the actual average speed;
The likely evacuation times based on changes to the above criteria.
