The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality recently released the Mass Evacuation Transportation Planning Model, an online tool to help emergency planners estimate the time needed to evacuate healthcare facilities in a disaster area.
The Mass Evacuation Transportation Planning Model answers questions regarding how long it would take to move patients from one facility to another and how the evacuating and receiving facilities’ attributes might affect evacuation plans. Users can enter specific information, such as how many different types of vehicles would be necessary to transport patients. The model does this when data is entered on a scenario input page.
