RES2021-10: Rapid Emergency Evacuation Planning Assessment for Tourist Attractions and Isolated Communities

The purpose of the project is to develop an easy-to-use evacuation planning tool for smaller and less resource-rich communities and municipalities. A modeling tool dubbed T-REX, or Tennessee Rapid Evacuation MicroSimlation, will be developed and demonstrated using actual locales in Tennessee with fitting scenarios.
