evacuation route
Emergency exit path
An evacuation route is a designated path for leaving a dangerous area during an emergency—fire, flood, hurricane, or other disaster.
Buildings post evacuation routes on maps near exits and stairwells.
Cities designate major roads as evacuation routes during hurricanes: Traffic backed up for miles along the evacuation route.
