Emergency management coordinator Aaron Ott says that’s intentional because during a disaster, some roads might not be accessible. “This way we hopefully encourage citizens to take a different route just so they understand that there are other ways to get out of the neighborhood,” Ott says. The map will also make it easier for first responders to know where to direct people as they evacuate. Ott says fire battalion chiefs will have laminated copies on hand.
