This chapter explores the critical role of transportation and micromobility in disaster management. Transportation systems are indispensable for effective disaster response and recovery, facilitating evacuation, rescue operations, and community reconstruction. However, these systems are vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural disasters, technological failures, and malicious acts. The closure of transportation routes due to disasters can have severe consequences, hindering access to affected areas and exacerbating the overall impact. Accessibility is heavily influenced by transportation infrastructure and facilities. Disasters can significantly disrupt accessibility, making it difficult to provide timely assistance and resources to affected communities. Defined as personal transportation vehicles weighing up to 350 kg, micromobility options offer a flexible and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional transportation methods. Micromobility, encompassing vehicles like bicycles, e-bikes, and scooters, offers a promising alternative for maintaining transportation during and after disasters. Micromobility vehicles can navigate damaged roads, access remote areas, and provide essential transportation services in situations where traditional vehicles are limited or unavailable. By providing real-world examples and feasibility analyses, this chapter demonstrates how micromobility can be effectively utilized in various disaster scenarios, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods, to facilitate rapid resource deployment, support logistical operations, and ensure access to critical services. By enhancing transportation resilience and integrating micromobility solutions, communities can improve their ability to respond to and recover from disasters, minimizing their overall impact and promoting sustainable development.
