Abstract

The occurrence and magnitude of real-world threats and challenges are difficult to predict in time and space, as they often cause new, unexpected situations, making them extremely difficult to manage. The present paper explores how applied human security could allow for a coordinated and secure allocation of population in emergencies. The use of new technologies could provide capabilities and tools for policy/decision-makers and first responders in order to facilitate such allocation endeavours. Cases demanding an organized evacuation in urban areas (large or small) are when disasters occur or are estimated as highly probable to happen in the near future. The identification of proper Emergency Assembly Points - EAPs plays a significant role in almost all crisis and disaster management situations, particularly in efficient and effective planning and responding.
