Hurricane Evacuation Studies (HES) serve as the root of state hurricane plans. Historically, the HES has been completed by FEMA's National Hurricane Program with various federal, state, and local partners such as the USACE, NWS, and state emergency management agencies. The research outcomes of an HES allow emergency management officials to determine who is likely to evacuate, where individuals are most likely to go when evacuating from a storm, and when they need to leave to safely reach their destination. The studies aid in the development of evacuation zones and identify vulnerable populations and probable impacts from hurricane-related hazards such as storm surge and high wind.
