7. RegionalEvacuation Procedures Procedures

15. Regional Planning Elements 1. Coordinated Decision Making 2.Consistency of Evacuation Zones and Routes 3.Multi-county Traffic Management 4.Risk / Host Sheltering Procedures 5.Consistent Public Information 6.Multi-County Re-entry

16. 1. Decision Making Process: Identification of Risk and Host Identification of Risk and Host areas areas Implementation of evacuations Implementation of evacuations Utilizing resources located in Utilizing resources located in non-vulnerable areas non-vulnerable areas Regional re-entry planning Regional re-entry planning

17. 2. A consistent state-wide evacuation road network evacuation road network 3. Coordinated traffic management plans management plans FDOT, FHP and DEM working FDOT, FHP and DEM working with County Sheriffs Offices with County Sheriffs Offices Traffic Control Points Traffic Control Points Barriers and barricades Barriers and barricades

18. 4. Risk and Host Sheltering Procedures Procedures Host sheltering designated under a mission tasking from SEOC Host sheltering designated under a mission tasking from SEOC All counties must develop Host Shelter ProceduresAll counties must develop Host Shelter Procedures Shelter Manager Reserve Shelter Manager Reserve

19. 5. Consistent Public Information Information PIOs in all affected counties Coordination procedures among PIOs during events Communicating emergency information to evacuees Regional coordination, consistent messages

20. All counties in host regions will: be directed by the SCO to activate their EOCs to support local protective actions coordinate response activities with each other and the SEOC be included in all declaration requests and Executive Orders Coordination

21. Coordination All counties will: develop a host response component to their CEMP be included in evacuatio coordination conference calls The Regional Evacuation Procedure will be updated to address host region response tasks

22. Traffic Management All risk and host sheriffs included Field report data from FHP Troops Real time traffic counts from SEOC Local incident management teams to coordinate intersection staffing and signal timing

23. Emergency Public Information Identify critical sites for information within each region Identify needed and available resources FDOT flip-down shelter signs Portable radio transmitters at all rest areas FHP and FDOT PIOs taking a greater role in distributing information

24. FDEM WEB SITE: http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fdem Under Internet Library “SOP for Regional Evacuation”

25. Florida’s Contra Flow Operations FDOT, FHP and DEM Local input was solicited FHP has command and control DOT assisting FHP in developing operational plans FLNG augmenting staff I-10, Fl Tpk, Beeline and I-75 augmentation have been exercised

26. Timelines and Criteria Must be cat 4 or higher Must threaten more than one region. Must have approximately 49 hours of setup time and operational time before arrival of tropical storm force winds. Must have approximately 12 full hours of daylight to operate the contra-flow plan.

34. FDOT Interactive Real Time Traffic Counters Development of an interactive traffic model (Spreadsheet) Evacuation Information

35. Traffic Counters Located to provide advance warning to receiving / host jurisdictions Necessary to monitor road conditions and evacuation status Necessary for evacuation shutdown Provide critical data for Travel Demand Forecast Model

40. Traffic Counters www.dot.state.fl.us/ trafficinformation

46. Real Time Travel Demand Forecast Model (TDFM) Developed under Hurricane Floyd Post Storm Analysis by PBS & J Interactive hurricane evacuation decision making program Data from consolidated hurricane evacuation study transportation analyses Eventual capability to ingest traffic counter data

47. TDFM Applications To alert law enforcement and DOT to potential trouble areas on evac network Public information Host county impact analysis Interstate impact analysis Eventual contingency planning
