Wait outside for public escape vehicles??
Yes, it’s called a bus. They are often used to move large amounts of people in emergencies. :soviet-chad:
Happening right now downriver of that dam in Ukraine, this lady could not be farther of the mark
Like in Ukraine during the start of the war. It was a clusterfuck with lots of cars clogging the border crossings with scenes like tanks driving over parked ones, but busses were very instrumental in managing the movement of refugees.
I did talk with someone who studied and worked in catastrophe response (like is part of a team of first/second responders that will be air lifted to areas without electricity/communication network etc.).
They were pretty clear that people walking, followed by public transportation are the main things to get people out of dense areas. Then organized response of getting people out and only then came cars and other things (think helicopters). They did also mentioned boats at some point but I don’t remember exactly anymore.
That cars and roads especially during crisis are often not the solution, but create problems if you want to get people out. However they are good in giving felt controlled spaces and are good in transporting things and slightly shielding you from the weather up to a point.
