HURREVAC
HURREVAC version 1.3.3, released on August 28, 2013, is a free computer-based program used to assist government emergency managers with hurricane evacuation decisions for their area. The program originated in 1987 as ‘Decide’, with the purpose of computing evacuation decision times for South Carolina. HURREVAC routinely checks for updates from the National Hurricane Center and displays this information in the programs interactive interface. Pre-determined clearance times for the user’s local area are automatically checked against a storms projected path. If the user’s area falls within the storms cone of probability, HURREVAC will prompt the emergency manager and notify them of the danger. The user can easily print maps from the program and use them in planning meetings. This software can be a very useful tool for local governments that do not have a GIS staff.
