Public Health Emergency Preparedness

Appendix 1: Project Steering Committee Members

As noted in Section 1, development of the Mass Evacuation Transportation Model was one task in a larger project to support development of a national strategy for the design, development, and implementation of an interagency mass patient and evacuee movement, regulating and tracking system. A project steering committee was convened to inform this project. The meetings focused on both of the overall goals of the project—that is, development the model and development of recommendations for a National Mass Patient and Evacuee Movement, Regulating, and Tracking System.
