In 2005, WTI helped the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) to develop an Emergency Operations and Disaster Plan. The Plan defined a Concept of Operations; the processes and procedures, roles and responsibilities, for implementing an effective response and otherwise restoring the transportation system. It outlined how continuity of operations would be maintained, including who would serve as Incident Commander. It recommended use of the Incident Command System to guide incident response, and outlined hazard specific responses for both manmade and natural incidents. Other components of the plan included guidelines for activating Emergency Operations Centers, training recommendations, and a response plan specifically for MDT Headquarters at the Helena campus.
