Evacuation Management System for Major Disasters

Predicting and understanding mass evacuations are important factors in disaster management response. Current modelling approaches useful for planning but lack of real-time capabilities to help informed decisions as the event evolves. To address this challenge, a Evacuation Management System (EMS) is proposed here, following stochastic approach combining classical models low complexity high reliability. The EMS computes optimal assembly points shelters related network evacuation routes using GIS-based traffic, pedestrian routing including damaged assets or impassable areas. test proper operation performances EMS, we conducted case study Gran Canaria wildfire (August 2019—Spain).
