Evacuation New York

Could it happen here?

The possibility of a large-scale evacuation in New York City may seem unlikely. Yet it could happen. Any combination of unforeseen circumstances could result in the need for a mass evacuation of New York City. This was clearly evident when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Because the residents lacked the proper information on evacuation of the city, chaos ensued.

This website was designed to inform you, the visitor, about the evacuation procedures that are in place in New York City inclduing what residents should do in the case of an evacuation, what procedures have been established by the city and the state government to help local residents. and what steps residents should take in order to prepare for such emergencies.
