Improving the emergency preparedness of rural transportation systems is the overall goal of this research. Unique characteristics exist in rural transportation systems including widely dispersed and diverse populations and geographic areas. Exploring rural transportation emergency preparedness is important because these networks are essential for transporting freight and linking rural residents with distant services, This research investigates the disaster relief and recovery needs of rural communities and provides an assessment tool for evaluating transportation-related emergency preparedness for these communities. The Federal Emergency Agency's Guide for All Hazard Emergency Operation Planning is a vital source used by state and local officials to develop emergency operations plans. This guide is used as the basis for developing the Transportation Readiness Assessment and Valuation for Emergency Logistics (TRAVEL) tool. TRAVEL is a value-based assessment tool for evaluating transportation readiness in emergency operations planning. A demonstration of TRAVEL based on three rural county-level emergency operations plans is provided to demonstrate the use of TRAVEL in a real world scenario.
