This report focuses on the transportation aspects of evacuation, particularly large-scale, multijurisdictional evacuation. The guidance, strategies, and tools in NCHRP Report 740 are based on an all-hazards approach that has applicability to a wide range of 'notice' and 'no-notice' emergency events. The report follows the basic planning steps of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101. Each chapter parallels one of the six main CPG steps. Each chapter is further subdivided into smaller, discrete tasks, with cross-references to tools--such as templates or checklists--that are shown at the end of each chapter and are on a CD-ROM included with the print version of the report. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_740.iso. The contractor’s final report, which documents the development of the report, was published as NCHRP Web-Only Document 196 at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_w196.pdf. A PowerPoint presentation describing the entire project that resulted in NCHRP Report 740 is available for download at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_740PP.pdf.
