Summary
Oklahoma started preparing for this once-in-a-lifetime event years in advance. With the rural southeastern part of the state forecast to be in the path of totality, community leaders and emergency planners started prepping for a massive influx of visitors and the potential side effects of such.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation created these 7 graphics as part of a multi-agency effort to communicate consistent safety messaging to the public, particularly to encourage residents in affected areas to prepare for crowds and congestion and to remind visitors not to forget basic safe behaviors in the hubub.
