Project status

Proposed

Evacuation is a critical risk mitigation to protect and preserve life in contexts where there is residual risk. This research will develop a national roadmap for evacuation modelling design and development through a series of workshops to identify research gaps and consolidate learnings to improve evacuation decisions and support tools.

Project details

This project concept was proposed by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action Victoria.

It is proposed that this project will conduct a series of workshops with emergency personnel, researchers, software developers and decision makers to:

  • develop a nationally agreed and prioritised roadmap for evacuation modelling 
  • identify research gaps for improving evacuation decision support tools
  • provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential use cases for evacuation modelling across a vast array of context develop stronger partnerships and collaborations between emergency services, researchers and software developers.
