Evacuation

Evacuation refers to the organized process of removing people from a specific area, typically in response to an emergency or disaster situation. This procedure is aimed at ensuring the safety of individuals by relocating them to a safer environment, away from potential danger such as natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, floods, wildfires), hazardous materials incidents, or armed conflicts. Evacuation can involve various methods of transport, including vehicles, public transportation, or on foot, and may require the establishment of temporary shelters for those displaced. The goal of evacuation is to protect lives and minimize risks during critical situations by implementing pre-planned strategies and protocols.
