Evacuation modeling is a process used to simulate how people will leave a location during an emergency, such as a natural disaster or a terrorist attack. This modeling helps planners understand the best routes and methods for evacuating large groups of people safely and efficiently. It takes into account factors like population density, available transportation, and potential obstacles. The models often use computer simulations to predict behavior and movement patterns of individuals and groups. By analyzing these simulations, emergency responders can develop effective evacuation plans, ensuring that resources are allocated properly and that the safety of the public is prioritized during crises.
