Evacuation

Evacuation refers to the organized process of moving people from a place of danger to a safer location. This term is commonly used in the context of emergency management, where individuals are relocated due to threats such as natural disasters (like hurricanes, floods, or wildfires), hazardous material incidents, or civil disturbances. The goal of evacuation is to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals by removing them from areas at risk of harm. Evacuation plans are often pre-established and include designated routes and shelters to efficiently manage the movement of large groups during emergencies.
