Evacuation centers are designated locations where people can seek shelter during emergencies, such as natural disasters or other crises. These centers provide a safe space for individuals and families to stay until it is safe to return home. They often offer basic necessities like food, water, and medical assistance. Typically managed by local authorities or organizations like the Red Cross, evacuation centers are equipped to accommodate large groups of people. They may also provide information about the situation and resources for recovery, helping communities rebuild after an emergency event.
