- Abstract
- The text below is comprised of sections from the article “Floyd Follies: What We’ve Learned” published in Coastal Heritage Magazine, Volume 17, number 1, in 2002. It highlights improvements made to South Carolina’s emergency preparedness after Hurricane Floyd exposed serious flaws in the former evacuation plan. Given the similar revelation of recent failures in the evacuation plans of New Orleans and Houston, the editors felt this piece warranted a second look. New research is being done on best practices in emergency evacuation management (see Lessons from Katrina and Rita—http://www.vtpi.org/katrina.pdf), and planners may want to fit some of the recommendations described in this article into the context of 2005. In addition, the article highlights the behavior tendencies of key targets for emergency response planners. This information can help shape the way in which evacuation plans address the issues and concerns of these varied stakeholders. Words in brackets have been added by the author for clarification purposes.
