TRB Annual Meeting
Business meeting held
1. Attended by over 60 attendees
2. 5 speakers presented: Laurie Radow, USDOT/FHWA; John Porco, Michael Baker Jr., Inc.; Deborah Matherly, Louis Berger Group, Inc.; Evangelos Kaisar, Florida Atlantic University; and Virginia Sisiopiku, University of Alabama at Birmingham
3. Through unsolicited submissions and several Calls for Papers issued jointly between ANB10(4) and the TRB Committees on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection and Network Modeling, the subcommittee received over 90 papers in August 2010. Although all of the papers were reviewed jointly by members of the three committees, the evacuation subcommittee was assigned review responsibility for 46 of these submissions. From these, one podium and one poster sessions were developed. Ten of the 46 papers assigned to ANB10(4) were recommended for publication. Details on the Subcommittee sponsored sessions are included below.

Midyear Meeting
A mid-year meeting was held on August 24, 2011, in conjunction with the 2011 TRB Transportation Hazards and Security Summit in Irvine, California. The agenda included an update for members on the progress to create a TRB Taskforce on Emergency Evacuation and update Scope and Mission statements. It lso included discussions for coordination with other TRB committees. The sub committee held main meeting as well as break-out sessions. 17 persons attendend and the meeting was joined by an additional seven persons via conference call–in.
