Hurricane Katrina

Evacuation Logistics Scenario Date/Time: 31st August, 2005 12:01:49 Zulu Location: New Orleans, LA Duration: 48 Hours Playable Sides: United States You are in charge of the Joint Task Force responsible for evacuating the residents of Hurricane Katrina now that the storm has passed. Crews have already cleared landing pads for helicopters which began arriving last night. Work on restoring runways for fixed wing operation is in progress. Evacuation of residents from throughout the city to local airfields can begin immediately, but you will need to evacuate those residents completely outside of the impacted area to score points. This means working with commercial partners to transfer evacuees to Houston (IAH), Dallas (DFW), Austin (AUS), Miami (MIA), or Atlanta (ATL). Commercial carriers have already been contracted and their resources will become available to you in a few hours. Notes Facilities that need to be evacuated will be automatically removed from the map once they have been fully evacuated. This may result in your helicopters being stuck at an airfield until reassigned. Beware of aircraft stuck in a landing queue or having issues landing as they may run out of fuel. Some locations of evacuees will not be vsisble until you fly over them for the first time. In order to minimize the number of units in place at any one time, while also maximizing the carrying capacity of your aircraft, uninjured evacuees are represented via the 10x Stranded Personnel unit. These will be automatically split into (10) 1x Stranded Personnel units whenever an evacuee source has no 1x units left. This happens during the scoring process and only happens when the score changes in order to minimize the impact to the game. While this is not meant to be an all inclusive, realistic, or accurate simulation of the evacuation of people after Hurricane Katrina, suggestions for any improvements are always appreciated.
