evacuate


  From today's congressdaily

Transportation. The majority of America's urban
areas received a failing
grade on their ability to evacuate citizens in the
event of a disaster,
according to study released today by the American
Highway Users Alliance. It
graded 37 of the largest urban areas in the
country with more than 1 million
people, and found that 25 would have greater
problems evacuating their
citizens than New Orleans did during Hurricane
Katrina. They failed on three
criteria -- internal traffic flow, capacity of
major exit routes and
accessibility to automobile transportation. The
Homeland Security Department
has expressed concern over "significant weakness"
in evacuation planning,
the report said.
While data shows that the vast majority of
Americans have access to
automobiles, those without cars also rely on
highways, because buses are
their most important means of evacuation. The
study urged Homeland Security
to establish national standards and a reporting
system for evacuation plans.
Kansas City was the only city to receive an "A."
Among those urban areas
getting failing grades were Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington, Seattle,
Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
