Overview
Recent experiences, including those encountered by transportation agencies during SuperStorm Sandy and other major weather-related events, have had a widespread geographical impact along the I-95 Corridor. Based on this, Coalition Leadership requested that the Coalition conduct a Significant Weather-Related Events Response Project to determine issues to be addressed as well as the Coalition’s prospective coordinative role as an information facilitator during emergency response. Part of the initial project effort was conducting a brief survey of the Coalition Members seeking information about agency’s policies and practices pertaining to bridge-highway closures during significant weather events.
