Part: Imagine a Category 5 strength hurricane is heading toward Long Island in New York. How many days before the hurricane arrives must the mandatory evacuation order be issued so that all of the people are able to get off the island?
Information you need:
Population of Long Island = 7.56 million people
Assume all the people evacuate by car and that each car carries an average of 3 people
8 bridges are open (all tunnels are shut down) with a total of 41 outbound lanes
The rate of cars exiting the island is 1 car per 4 seconds per lane.
