Predictive modelling of fuel shortages during hurricane evacuation: An epidemiological approach Open
High‐volume evacuations, disruptions to the supply chain, and fuel hoarding from non‐evacuees have led to localized fuel shortages lasting several days during recent hurricanes. While news reports mention fuel shortages in past hurricanes,…
