Evacuation Route Twitter Updates:

MDOT has created six separate Twitter feeds that will provide route-specific traffic information to evacuees traveling Interstates 10, 20, 55, 59 and U.S. Highways 49 and 98. Evacuees will receive information such as traffic delays, contraflow information, fuel availability and roadway openings all on a real-time basis.

In order to access an evacuation route-specific feed, evacuees can simply type in the feed address in their web browser. If one is new to Twitter, click "Join Today." If one is an existing user, simply "login." Users will be asked to provide their full name, a user name, password and e-mail address. Once signed up, to follow the evacuation route-specific feed, one must click device updates to the "on" position on the Twitter screen to receive tweets via cell phone.

The feed addresses are www.twitter.com/mdot_i55, www.twitter.com/mdot_i59, www.twitter.com/mdot_us49, www.twitter.com/mdot_us98, www.twitter.com/mdot_i10 and www.twitter.com/mdot_i20.
