IT IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO STUDY THE METHODOLOGY OF WHAT WAS DONE TO KEEP A SOCIETY MOVING WHEN DISASTER STRIKES. OTHERS MAY LOOK BACK ON THOSE METHODS TO HELP THEM IN THEIR TIMES OF NEED. THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING THE 1994 NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WAS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF USING INNOVATIVE METHODS TO DEPLOY NEW AND OLD TECHNOLOGY, NEW PROCUREMENT AND COORDINATION METHODS TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC FLOWING. THERE ARE MANY MATERIALS AND REPORTS THAT EXIST CONCERNING VARIOUS AREAS OF THOSE OPERATIONS. THIS REPORT IS DESIGNED TO COMBINE AND LINK THIS INFORMATION INTO ONE CONCISE DOCUMENT, ONE REFERENCE, IF YOU WILL, THAT OTHERS MAY REFER BACK
ON TO SEE WHAT WAS DONE IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC SITUATION FROM BECOMING A DISASTER IN ITSELF. DOCUMENTS PREPARED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (CALTRANS), MOSTLY ALBERT YEE AND STEPHEN LEUNG, A PAPER WRITTEN PRIMARILY BY JIM KERR, AND A PAPER BY FRANK CECHINI WERE VITAL IN THIS COLLABORATION.
