Exit Strategy: Adaptable Evacuation Routing for Cities

Smart city routes when every minute counts.

Most evacuation advice hands you one printed map and hopes the roads cooperate. Exit Strategy teaches you to build three flexible routes out of your own neighborhood and read the free, real-time traffic data that tells you which one to take — before the roads decide for you. A 31-page digital guide, instantly downloadable, designed to be filled in, printed, and kept in the vehicle.

Why This Guide (selling points)

• A method, not a memorized map. One fixed route is a bet. This guide teaches the three-route system (primary, secondary, tertiary) that emergency planners use, scaled down to your own street.
• Built-in worksheets, not just theory. Fillable route-planning pages, a family communication card, and a tear-out pocket reference card mean you finish this guide with an actual plan, not just an idea of one.
• Covers the tools you already have. Step-by-step setup for the free real-time data sources — Waze, Google Maps, state 511 systems, NOAA weather alerts, and local emergency notification systems — so you're reading live conditions, not guessing.
• Scenario-specific playbooks. Dedicated routing guidance for wildfire, flood and hurricane, winter storm, and civil emergency/grid-down situations — because the right route depends on the hazard.
• Built to actually get used. A practice-drill routine and a seasonal review checklist keep the plan current instead of collecting dust after one read.
• Designed to print. Clean, high-contrast layout built for a real printer and a vehicle glovebox, not just a screen.

What's Inside

Who It's For
