During both response and recovery from an emergency event, traffic patterns are altered by emergency response actions that cause traffic detours and lane re-directions, restricted access, reduced or suspended service, equipment and personnel re-allocations, etc. These changes or disruptions in traffic patterns may have critical effects on deliveries and worker transport for essential services that must be continuously maintained despite emergency events.

– areas surrounding the restricted zone where travel time may be increased as a result of altered traffic patterns to provide detours around the restricted zone, resource reallocations to enable objectives such as evacuation, and to facilitate first-responder access to the restricted zone. Some transportation may be suspended in this zone (e.g., hazmat shipments)

From page 105... ...
In the restricted zone, some essential services may be suspended if the population has evacuated. During shelter-inplace scenarios, many services may need access and egress to prevent criticalities.

In the restricted zone, the Incident Command has determined that access should be provided for operation of the water treatment plant, recognizing that the water treatment process will destroy the blister agent contaminants, and water will likely be needed for decontamination of other areas in this zone, not to mention the effects of loss of potable water on the adjacent zone population served by this plant. After discussions with the water treatment chemical supplier and their command chain contact, the user determined that appropriate waivers and plans for dealing with the contaminated truck after deliveries in the restricted zone would cause no more than a 24 hour delay.
