NCR and BALT evac routes

[Bruce in WV]

There was some discussion in my local area about expecting regional urban areas to flood our area of WV in the event of serious problems in the cities. Does your local govt have a plan to deal with this influx?

There are maps of evac routes from the NCR and BALT areas at these links:
