Paper Abstract
Natural disasters take hundreds of thousands of lives each year. They generate billions of dollars in financial losses
annually. Some of these losses are inevitable due to the high population densities in areas at risk for earthquakes,
tornados, hurricanes and other powerful forces in nature. However with improvements in weather forecasting, the
emergence of better modeling and simulation tools, and the application of these tools to disaster preparation and
recovery planning these losses in human life and infrastructure can be greatly mitigated. ADEPT is an application
developed by Rite-Solutions that joins storm surge modeling with evacuation route planning. It can be used to train
citizens and first responders in best disaster evacuation practices.
