Per Wikipedia:
The Waffle House Index is a metric named after the Southern US restaurant chain Waffle House known for its 24-hour, 365-day service. Because the restaurant chain is always open (except in extreme circumstances), it has given rise to an informal but useful metric to determine the severity of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. The metric was coined by Craig Fugate in August 2004 after Hurricane Charley. He was leading the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The metric is unofficially used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to inform disaster response.

I fucking hate sites that display something but try to make you pay to download it. Got a better link?
I don’t at the moment. It’s readable. Are you just curious or are you in the biz?
I’m just curious. As an Atlantan (which is where Waffle House is from), I’m maybe more interested than most.
I was going to argue the point about it being “readable,” but then I found the button to hide all the sidebars and BS, which helps.
K. DRI, BCI, and IAEM all have Waffle House resources as case studies etc. WH really is best of breed at keeping things running under difficult circumstances.
