# Emergency Preparedness

In case of disasters that require emergency evacuation (i.e., hurricanes, wildfires, etc.), Rekor Discover transitions from standard traffic analytics to real-time evacuation traffic analytics, providing instant access to shoulder and contraflow data. This is accomplished by setting up bi-directional, single-lane configurations for each lane and scheduling an evacuation.

There are a few steps to schedule an evacuation:  

* Setup the roadway and lane details in Stations.  
* Monitor the evacuation area.
* Setup the Evacuation in Studies.  

To monitor pre-evacuation conditions and set up an evacuation schedule, click Emergency Preparedness on the Studies page.
