  1. A System to Allow Orderly Evacuation of Cities During Airborne Release of Toxic Substances A presentation to the Urban Meteorology Forum September 22, 2004 Alexander E. MacDonald NOAA Forecast Systems Lab

  2. Talk Summary 1. Thoughts on Orderly Evacuation of Cities 2. Reverse 911 3. System Description 4. Actions in Progress

  3. Homeland Security: Everyone gets location specific evacuation instructions.

  4. - Information Flow Intellicast: Brand name of a reverse 911 system developed by Intrado, a company located in Longmont Colorado.

  5. Why Telephone Notification • 94% + households have a telephone • The telephone always is “ON” • Uses an existing, reliable network • Typically not affected by power outages or adverse weather • Same as 9-1-1 network • Intrado: 99% of US phones located within 30 ft

  6. Intrado • Intrado manages the nations 911 database • Over 210 million telephone records including wireline, wireless, unlisted and unpublished numbers • Through its database management, call routing and licensing arrangements with all major telephone companies manages 99% of all 911 emergency calls nationwide • Identified by the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) as part of the nations critical infrastructure for emergency management and telecommunications

  7. October 29, 2003, 1:30 pm. The Jamestown fire about 1 ½ mile from the Crestview Subdivision (where I live).

  8. October 29, 3 pm. The Jamestown fire, after a run of five miles, enters the Crestview Subdivision, ½ mile from my house.

  9. Specific Area Depiction of Reverse 911 Calls During Jamestown Fire

  10. – Pre-planned • Map out flood plains, areas around HazMat sites, chemical/petrol manufacturers, etc. • Works with real time Telephone Number extracts within pre-planned areas

  11. City Escape System System Description • Airborne Toxic Prediction Subsystem (x,y,t) • Advanced City Scale Observing Subsystem • Individual Notification System (Reverse 911, others) • Evacuation Optimum Routing Subsystem • Human Interaction and Control Subsystem • Computing and Communications Subsystem

  12. Actions In Progress Several organizations building a system for DC area: Dept of Homeland Security NOAA DHS Program National Weather Service NOAA Forecast Systems Lab NOAA Air Resources Lab Intrado Corporation
