| Abstract | Homeland Security Presidential Directive-8 establishes a framework for national preparedness, including a vision, specific scenarios of concern, as well as a task list and target capabilities to be developed. The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate has fostered enhanced resilience through sponsorship of tools to simulate the impact of the various disaster scenarios identified. However, the default simulations implemented for each of these scenarios implicitly assume availability of public transportation networks for task such as evacuation and response, yet such availability cannot be guaranteed without explicit consideration of the triggering events on transportation networks. Transportation is especially important as a majority of the scenarios indicate that over half of the affected population will need to be evacuated or self-evacuate and this population may be on the order of hundreds of thousands of people. Given the volume of traffic such scenarios may generate, the automobile transportation network will need to carry the majority of this flow of evacuees. Thus, methods to assess and mitigate the negative impact of transportation network disruptions on all aspects of disaster management, will be essential to reduce communal risk. This paper examines the criticality of public transportation in the context of the planning scenarios, suggesting methods to explicitly incorporate the impact of transportation network disruption. Methods based on dynamic traffic assignment are explored and applied to a small hypothetical scenario inspired by the 2010 Times Square car bombing attempt. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
