Dr. Brian Wolshon is a distinguished professor of engineering at Louisiana State University. He can discuss topics including:
- How evacuation timing and decision-making affect traffic congestion ahead of hurricanes;
- What research shows about contraflow, a method of evacuation where highway lanes are reversed in order to move more people out at once;

- How lessons from past storms are helping improve evacuations today; and
- Steps people and communities can take to better prepare for evacuations.
