Hurricane Relocation Planning For Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Newton And Orange Counties

"This study of five Texas coastal counties provides data for decision making leading to regional coordination of evacuation before hurricanes. The data can also be used in specific county or city evacuation plans. Information includes possible surge penetration for hurricanes of varying intensities; critical places in the study area to indicate road cutoff times by hurricane type for both surge penetration and wind intensity (given in hours plus or minus anticipated time of storm center landfall); hurricane-prone areas that probably should evacuate for most storms; areas subject to surge intrusion only in extremely severe hurricanes; and the number of hours required to evacuate the residents to evacuation zones who indicated that they would evacuate if advised to, and the number of hours required to evacuate all persons from evacuation and contingency zones if hurricane winds exceed 130 m.p.h."--Texas A & M University sea grant publication website (http://texasseagrant.org/publications/category/1984-publications/P45) Funding: NOAA Office of Sea Grant; grant number: NA83AA-D-00061.;
