When government officials become aware of an impending disaster,
they may take steps to protect citizens before the incident occurs.
Evacuation of the geographic area that may be affected is one
option to ensure public safety. If implemented properly, evacuation
can be an effective strategy for saving lives. Evacuations and
decisions to evacuate, however, can also entail complex factors and
elevated risks. Decisions to evacuate may require officials to
balance potentially costly, hazardous, or unnecessary evacuations
against the possibility of loss of life due to a delayed order to
evacuate. This book discusses federal evacuation policy and
analyses potential lessons learned from the evacuations of
individuals in response to the Gulf Coast hurricanes of 2005 with a
focus on potential lawmaking and oversight on evacuation policy.
