Abstract
The main objective of this research is to find the best evacuation path during a flood disaster emergency situation. The challenge lies in how to manage this situation that has dynamic changing conditions and strict time constraints. In this paper, we propose an adaptive system for flood evacuation. This system gives the best decisions to take, in this emergency situation, to minimize damages. It computes the best evacuation routes in real time by executing an algorithm which takes into consideration the spatial characteristics of hazard propagation. The system, based on sensors network, is adapted to the changes of the environment and provides directions for the shortest and less hazardous routes to the users.
