1. A computer implemented method for travel management, comprising:
- selecting a source and destination for travel, including departure and arrival dates;
selecting a mode of transportation to support the selected source and destination travel;
identifying a geographic area affected by a health related event;
evaluating the selected mode of transportation to determine if at least one craft supporting the selected mode of transportation matches the identified geographic area affected by the identified health related event;
mitigating exposure to the identified health related event, including supporting a change to the selected mode of transportation if the transportation matches the identified geographic area affected; and
a reservation to support the selected travel based upon evaluation of the mode of transportation and with the identified health related event.

Abstract
A method, system, and article for management of travel and travel related matters. Both a source and a designation are selected, together with the associated departure and arrival information and the mode of transportation. A geographic region affected by a health related event is identified, and then employed to determine if a craft in support of the selected travel has been or is intended to be in the identified region. Exposure to the identified health related event may be mitigated by supporting an amendment to the mode of transportation.
