If one accident shuts down I-95, what do we do in a real emergency?

The June 16th 2-car accident on I-95 brought back bad memories ("Accident on I-95 in Harford County causes injury and traffic delays"). Having experienced many I-95 shutdowns over the 30-plus years that I used I-95 to commute to work, I can tell you that every alternate artery is also jammed: there is no way out and no way around it. And this happens on an average work day! What on earth would we do if there is a crisis, and I-95 and every alternate road and highway is a parking lot?

Maryland is the custodian of a major part of this critical interstate. I would be interested in hearing what state transportation officials have done to address this serious problem. What is the crisis management plan to move people in an emergency? Indeed, an accident on I-95 is a single point of failure.
