Emergency Traffic Management Plan

Does anybody have an emergency traffic management plan on file for their department? Any pointers or directions would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping to find one from the MUTCD website but no bites. Thanks.

I believe thats what the content of it should be, yes. I was asked by our Training/Safety Officer to research this topic.

Thanks Brent, I'll have to take a look at that. I definately agree with you on interagency cooperation. Last year an interstate opened up through my jurisdiction so its something different for us.

We found ourselves in a similar situation about 6 years ago. Another resource that we found helpful was VFIS insurance at www.VFIS.com. They have a training program as well as incident check sheets to assist on scene personnel in properly handling scene set up and traffic control.
