Houston Second Most Prepared City for Evacuation.

A recent study declared Houston the second most prepared city in the country in the case of an evacuation. I am very proud of Houston for this.

The consulting firm that put together this list works very closely with insurance companies. Named the PT&C Forensic Consulting Services. The firm looked at exit capacity, roadway density, automobile availability, internal traffic, geographical barriers and land area. Houston has an evacuation plan in place that includes the ability to quickly make the exit highways contraflow. Which means all highways will become one way streets out of the city. The study said Houston was ranked well, because it had nearly no bottlenecks, great exit capacity, auto availability and light congestion. Quite a change from the Hurricane Rita era, I know but we have changed many things for the better since we met that challenge.
