Manuscript Title

Air Evacuation Operations

Abstract

Federally supplied aircraft has been and can be an effective means of supplementing surface transportation modes for moving people who need assistance in evacuation prior to a disaster. It is easily integrated into a multi-modal mass evacuation transportation system. Planning and execution of air evacuations in Louisiana and Texas will be reviewed as well as future concepts for catastrophic disasters such as a New Madrid earthquake. Key components and processes essential to successful implantation of an air evacuation plan will be identified and discussed.
