Abstract
This paper focuses on the need for flood-based natural hazard resilience planning. It also addresses how having a quantifiable and practical scorecard for communities to asses their current statuses, in relation to their levels of preparedness for evacuation plans and programs, is a current need in emergency management planning. This paper offers a transferable, pragmatic, and implementable scorecard, the Flood Emergency Evacuation Scorecard (FEES). The FEES is this paper's proposal and can be used to help address necessary economic and policy directions towards helping to develop further structured and pragmatic flood emergency evacuation programs for communities that face chronic flooding.
