Urban Movement After a Disaster
90 min. course
The average person spends just under 1⁄2 of their time away from home during the week, and it’s likely that in a disaster situation, you will start out away from home and you will want to get to your home as quickly as you can.

Let's focus on three major types of post-disaster movement.
1. “Just” a disaster with no reason to be covert. People are in shock, no increased risk of violence yet. (Immediately after a terrorist attack like 9/11, unexpected natural disaster, etc.).
2. A disaster with civil breakdown (exploration/gathering/all non-trade) where you may have to switch to covert (economic collapse, predicted natural disaster with pre-planned looting by gangs like Katrina, a breakdown in the electrical grid, food chain breakdown, etc.)
3. A disaster with civil breakdown (travel with the intent of shopping/trading) where you need to carry goods/currency and may have to switch to covert.
