The text reviews the literature on emergency management and focuses on evacuation planning and operation. Two simulation models are presented to test and evaluate highway evacuation plans: (1) MASSVAC, an urban evacuation model, and (2) a rural model that requires less computer time. Both models take as inputs the area and disaster type characteristics, the demographic conditions, and the highway network typology and traffic control operations. Both determine the optimum route for people to follow from a disaster area to shelters, the expected traffic bottlenecks, and the total evacuation time needed for all evacuees to clear the threatened area.
