Abstract:

This report provides a catalog of some of the activities and techniques which have been used or considered for use to enhance response and recovery from major transportation emergencies. The intent of the report Is to provide highway agency field personnel with some "helpful hints" that officials involved in past emergencies have contemplated, used, or wished they had considered using. These activities and techniques have been divided into four categories: 1) Traffic Capacity Improvements, 2) Implementation of Unique or Unusual Traffic Control Devices; 3) Coordination/Management Issues; and 4) Recovery /Clean-up Phase. The first two categories focus on providing an efficient transportation system for the motorist. The last two categories are primarily concerned with the interaction of the various agencies involved in major transportation emergency response and recovery efforts.
