• Description:
  Through the development of four Harvard Kennedy School case studies, this project explored the policy and institutional dimensions of emergency evacuation planning and implementation in two major metropolitan areas – Houston and New Orleans. By providing in-depth descriptions of how regional authorities prepared for and managed the relocation of large numbers of people during two particularly intense hurricane seasons (2005 and 2008), the cases enable students of public policy and administration to examine a critical emergency management function and to improve their ability to deal with the issue in their future professional work.
