There is a city full of innocents. Men, women, children; civilians. But danger is coming, and because those civilians live in the city each and every one of them is in grave danger. Maybe it's a Big Bad hoping to sack or massacre the city, maybe it's an impending natural disaster like a tsunami or a fire. Either way, it's too late to prevent what's coming and if people stay there they will die. So they evacuate. They leave the city behind in order to escape with their lives. The local military or government might be organizing the evacuation (which would count as a Pet the Dog moment for them as it shows them extending effort to save civilian lives), or they might be trying to prevent it (either because they want to prove they can defend their cities or because they are what the civilians are fleeing from), or they might just be leaving civilians to their fate. Either way, people will still be leaving in a Mass-Exodus. The people might take up residence in a new place, or they may return to their homes and try to rebuild once the danger has passed. This can also be used as a way to show wide-scale destruction during a battle while justifying No Endor Holocaust. When the relevant authority does not order such an evacuation, it may qualify as a massed Screw This, I'm Outta Here. If the people are fleeing from war or raids, then they are War Refugees. If someone tries to kill or otherwise prey upon these refugees, then that is Sink the Lifeboats (when applied to civilians it is a potent way to Kick the Dog or even cross the Moral Event Horizon). An unsuccessful evacuation may result in a Post-Apocalyptic Traffic Jam. Compare with Abandon Ship (when a ship is being abandoned instead of a city) and Homeworld Evacuation (when an entire planet is being abandoned). |

In Megamind, the titular Megamind disguises himself to train Hal the cameraman, who accidentally ingested Megamind's Super Serum, to be Titan, his new superhero foe to replace the recently deceased Metroman. When Megamind reveals himself to have been training Hal to be a superhero simply because he was bored of not having an Arch-Enemy to fight, Hal decides that as Titan he would use his powers to show everyone he's done being pushed around by everyone. After Megamind narrowly escapes Titan's murderous wrath, Titan starts knocking down buildings in a fit of rage, and the authorities are seen guiding large crowds of refugees out of the city. | |

The 1957 CBS film The Day Called 'X' depicts the city of Portland calmly evacuating its populace after receiving word that enemy bombers are crossing the North Pole. Thanks to previous city evacuation drills everything goes smoothly, but nowadays the movie seems hopelessly naïve. The enemy bombers take three hours to arrive (as opposed to the 30 minutes an ICBM would take just a few years later), the much vaunted civil defense shelter only has supplies for a week, and the city officials seem to think they'll be able to move emergency vehicles back into a city blasted by a hydrogen bomb in "hours or probably days". | |

The climax of Avengers: Age of Ultron focuses on the heroes trying to evacuate the entire population of Sokovia. However, they're unable to get all the inhabitants out before Ultron lifts the city into the sky to become a makeshift meteor. Fortunately, Nick Fury and the new S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive with the Helicarrier to help evacuate the rest of the civilians before the city is destroyed. | |

In the Season 1 finale of Arrow, the Glades needs to be evacuated because of Malcolm Merlyn's earthquake machine. However, this is the largest, most densely populated section of the city where high poverty means many residents have no means of evacuating other than traveling by foot. Several hundred people die as a result. | |

Krypton: In the season 1 finale, Brainiac tries to collect the city state of Kandor, shrink it, and put the residents in suspended animation, and lots of people try to get out before he can finish the process. Many citizens and soldiers flee in skimmers offscreen (although some are shot down), Seg tries to get people out through tunnels and calling transports from other cities, and Jax-Ur and her Black Zero troops pack up to flee across the Outlands on foot. | |

Crossed: The population centers are death traps during the Zombie Apocalypse, although only one real evacuation is seen. The Marines at the San Diego Naval Base venture into besieged parts of the city to evacuate trapped civilians, who they bring to the docks and load on ships to evacuate. They save thousands, but there aren't enough ships for everyone, and the reinforcements they're hoping will evacuate more people are infected. | |

An early Doonesbury strip had The Smart Guy Bernie set up a simulated nuclear war for the Walden students. Playing the Secretary of the Interior, B.D. determines that he hasn't enough National Guardsmen to evacuate both Chicago and Detroit. Bernie urges him to decide quickly, as Soviet missiles are crossing the Bering Strait. With a shrug, B.D. declares, "I'll bag Detroit. It's a ghost town anyway," and focuses his resources on clearing out Chicago. | |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, if NERV spots an Angel in time, they sometimes send out an order to evacuate Tokyo-3. This makes traffic jams clog the highways, so it's debatable how effective it is.note Why wouldn't they use the train systems? More often, they just send everyone to underground shelters and pull most of the essential buildings underground. Tokyo-3 was built for survival, after all. |

Halo: After the Prophet of Regret attacks the city of New Mombasa on Earth, it and neighboring Old Mombasa are evacuated en masse. By the time the Master Chief arrives in Halo 2, the city is completely deserted save for military forces, but the audio logs of Halo 3: ODST present recordings of what happened amongst the fleeing civilians in the hour before the Chief could land. Halo: Reach: The level Exodus focuses on Noble Six aiding soldiers in evacuating the inhabitants of New Alexandria, first by securing a landing pad for dropships and then reclaiming missile turrets to provide covering fire for civilian aircraft. Halo Wars: The level Arcadia City has the Spirit of Fire's troops defending civilian transports until they can safely lift off. One is destroyed prematurely when it tries to flee early, and the rest must be defended from waves of Covenant aircraft and long-range plasma artillery. |

The Day After Tomorrow: The climatologist, trying to impress on the government the scale of the ongoing catastrophe, produces a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic, draws a line through the middle of the United States, and says "evacuate everyone south of this line", with the northern half of the continent being unfortunately too late to try evacuating. The President reluctantly agrees and in later scenes crowds of people are seen crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico. It's also mentioned in the other hemisphere that survivors are evacuating south. | |

Steven Universe sees Beach City evacuated a number of time: In the Season 1 finale, upon the arrival of Peridot, Jasper, and Lapis on their hand-shaped spaceship, with the Crystal Gems fighting it to no avail, Steven calls a "political favor" to Mayor Dewey to evacuate everyone in Beach City. Mayor Dewey, facing gratitude during the previous episode, uses his campaign vehicle to tell the citizens to evacuate to the hills. The fifth season sees the Crystal Gems actively coordinate safety measures with the townsfolk, including a plan to rapidly evacuate to unspecified shelters. The plan goes into action in "Reunited", though it proves unnecessary, as the only thing in-town damaged was Steven's house (which Greg sheltered in, but somehow came out unscathed). Steven Universe: The Movie sees the town being evacuated again because of Spinel's Injector, mostly to Little Homeworld and the warehouse Sadie Killer and the Suspects held their concert in. This proves very wise, as destroying the Injector saves the rest of the Earth, but leaves the city in ruins. Despite the Crystal Gems having to pick up some straggles, it's stated everyone is safe and accounted for. |

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): More of an Islandwide Evacuation, but Monarch attempt this at Isla de Mara when they realize Emma is going to likely awaken the local Titan. The evacuation is only completed after Rodan breaks free and razes the island with many people still there. After things go From Bad to Worse, with the whole world turned into a Death World as Ghidorah begins wreaking his Apocalypse How, the US President imposes martial law and the US Army direct a mass exodus of everyone in Boston. Which means the city is fortunately empty except for the main cast once the Final Battle razes it to the ground. |

An Atomic Train was approaching Denver, requiring the city to be evacuated before the train crashes. Outside the usual problems, there was a "Colorado Free People's Militia" who took over the gas station and charged $20/gallon per gas (compared to the then-current price of approximately $1/gallon). The atomic blast and EMP occurred while the evacuation was in progress, disabling most vehicles. | |

Ice Age: Ice Age: The Meltdown has the animals living in a valley learn that one of the walls of the valley is now functioning as a dam holding back a huge body of water and will fail in three days' time, flooding the valley. The focus of the plot is the valley's residents evacuating to a massive natural boat to ride out the flood in. After the flood subsides, the animals are seen returning to the rest of the valley, while the heroes strike out into the new valley accessible following another breach in the valley's walls. Ice Age: Continental Drift has Scrat's antics cause a worldwide cataclysm shifting the continental plates around. The area where Manny's family lives is now being crushed by a sliding plate, forcing them to evacuate to a land bridge they believe is their best hope. Manny is able to save the herd using an ice ship he stole from Captain Gutt, allowing them all to sail to a new island to live. |

Godzilla: Godzilla (1998): Godzilla's arrival in New York prompts Manhattan to evacuate to New Jersey and Long Island (something a news reporter snarks about, implying New Jersey and Long Island in their normal states are worse than Manhattan under siege by a kaiju). Godzilla (2014): The fictional Japanese city of Janjira is permanently evacuated in the film's prologue after the city's nuclear power plant suddenly suffers a catastrophic collapse (due to a MUTO larva burrowing into the reactor). Citizens are barred from the city under the guise of dangerous fallout, but in reality the government is trying to hide the pupating kaiju from the public (although it becomes much harder to hide once it metamorphoses into a flying form). Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019): More of an Islandwide Evacuation, but Monarch attempt this at Isla de Mara when they realize Emma is going to likely awaken the local Titan. The evacuation is only completed after Rodan breaks free and razes the island with many people still there.

Independence Day: They're not mandatory evacuations initially, but the President tells the citizens of the US that if they feel compelled to leave a city, they should do so immediately and in an orderly fashion. The citizens get the "immediately" part. However, after being advised by David Levinson that the aliens are not coming in peace, the evacuations become mandatory. Later on the film, it is said that all major cities have been deserted. | |

The Stand: Most of the residents of Boulder, Colorado evacuate over a mistaken belief that the superflu "Captain Tripps" was secretly created at the weather research station nearby. Some residents remained, but far less than other metropolitan areas. This resulted in far fewer bodies to be disposed of and much less rioting/looting in the final stage of the breakdown, leaving Boulder ready to be easily reoccupied afterwards as the capital of the Boulder Free Zone. | |

For this, you need to pour in a ton of resources to fix up the nearby abandoned Dreadnaught, stock it up with enough coal and food supplies, and transport people to it and keep others from escaping the city on their own while avoiding overcrowding, all while keeping the generator up before it shuts down for good. | |

The StarCraft novel Liberty's Crusade depicts the Confederacy evacuating Mar Sara's cities after the Protoss glass the system's other inhabited planet Chau Sara. Ostensibly this is because the cities aren't defensible, but Sarah Kerrigan argues to protagonist Michael Liberty that the Confederacy is just trying to look like it's doing something to help. Ultimately it just leaves the civilian population to be picked off piecemeal by the Zerg in the countryside before the Protoss glass the planet anyway. | |

Chernobyl. Thanks to the reluctance of the Soviet authorities to admit the scale of the disaster, the evacuation of Pripyat doesn't happen until 36 hours after the explosion of Unit 4. The scene uses the original audio of the evacuation order, broadcast by a loudspeaker truck. One of the people being evacuated is the Communist Party official who argued against the idea when it was first raised, looking a lot more frightened now than he did then. | |

Minister Ilahn of Cadador had threatened to cut off the floating city-state of Torbel's fuel supply over trade contract negotiations in Issue 3 of Meridian, but it isn't until Issues 18 and 19 that Torbel's problems are revisited. Turns out Ilahn made good on his threat and the city of Torbel running on fumes, unable to support its own weight. With the foundations of the town crumbling and sections of the city falling down all around them, protagonist Sephie and her Pirates of the Wind rally all the flying ships they can to evacuate the citizens of Torbel. Even with Sephie's incredible powers bolstering the carrying capacity of the evacuation fleet and her crew risking their lives to rescue trapped and wounded Torbellians, hundreds of the city's residents perish when the city eventually cracks down the middle and falls into the ocean. | |

After the Prophet of Regret attacks the city of New Mombasa on Earth, it and neighboring Old Mombasa are evacuated en masse. By the time the Master Chief arrives in Halo 2, the city is completely deserted save for military forces, but the audio logs of Halo 3: ODST present recordings of what happened amongst the fleeing civilians in the hour before the Chief could land. | |

In the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode "Abandoned City: REVERSAL PROCESS", the entire city of Fukuoka is evacuated after a nuclear device is discovered. While Borma handles the defusing process, Batou takes some time to have a lengthy chat with the season's Big Bad on the rooftop of the building the bomb is located in. | |

The Books of Ember: The opening of the second book reveals that small City in a Bottle Ember underwent one between books when the means of escaping the city became known. Due to the worsening blackouts and the mayor's absence, people panicked and stampeded toward the river. About 420 people got out but dozens or more were trampled, drowned, got knocked down the stairway in the rush, or chickened out and stayed in the dying city. | |

During the finale of The Legend of Korra, Republic City is evacuated due to Kuvira planning to invade with a Humongous Mecha armed with a Wave-Motion Gun alongside her Mini-Mecha army. All but a handful of civilians are gone by the time Kuvira shows up and they spend the battle trying to escape. Good thing too, as significant portions of the city are leveled during the fighting. | |

Godzilla (1998): Godzilla's arrival in New York prompts Manhattan to evacuate to New Jersey and Long Island (something a news reporter snarks about, implying New Jersey and Long Island in their normal states are worse than Manhattan under siege by a kaiju). | |

Godzilla (2014): The fictional Japanese city of Janjira is permanently evacuated in the film's prologue after the city's nuclear power plant suddenly suffers a catastrophic collapse (due to a MUTO larva burrowing into the reactor). Citizens are barred from the city under the guise of dangerous fallout, but in reality the government is trying to hide the pupating kaiju from the public (although it becomes much harder to hide once it metamorphoses into a flying form). | |

Sunnydale was evacuated in the build up to the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even some of the more noble demons ditched town... which must say something special about the threat as the townsfolk normally turn a blind eye to the forces of evil regularly causing problems in their city. | |

Ciaphas Cain: In Caves of Ice, Cain immediately gets working on evacuating the mining station. Everyone stares at the Hero of the Imperium suggesting a retreat... before he points out that the civilians will just get in the way of the military, also strengthening his caring-hero reputation in the process (the fact that he was intending to be on the first shuttle to leave goes undetected by everyone but him). Later this proves to be an excellent decision, as the main danger is no longer from ork hordes but a Necron legion, the one enemy Cain will unquestioningly sacrifice his heroic reputation to avoid facing, as Necrons are pretty much invincible in his series. There is an evacuation going on for the last third of The Last Ditch as tyrannids work their way toward the planet's biggest city and Caine tries to send its three million people elsewhere so the city will present a less tempting target or the casualties will be lower if it is hit. The process is complicated by the governor refusing to evacuate herself for as long as possible. |

Attempted multiple times in Spec Ops: The Line due to the massive sandstorms threatening Dubai. The official evacuation amounted to "Ship out everyone rich and/or important and leave everyone else behind". Konrad and the Damned 33rd attempted to rescue the survivors, but when the storms got worse they had to return to the city or risk losing everyone. Walker can call for evac during the ending but at that point, he's the only one left. | |

Dark Skies: When Mudamora is invaded by the armies of enemy Derin, its capital Mudaire becomes a haven for War Refugees from the surrounding countryside. But then its wells become contaminated and the enemy is approaching, so Princess Malahi orders a citywide evacuation. The problem is, the only way to evacuate is by ship and there are very few ships for such a huge number of people. | |

In the English dub of Dragon Ball Z, after Vegeta and Nappa destroy a city, the translators try to reassure viewers/appease censors by having Nappa say, "That area may have been evacuated, but it will give them something to think about." Despite the fact that civilians had been shown in previous scenes. | |

Ice Age: The Meltdown has the animals living in a valley learn that one of the walls of the valley is now functioning as a dam holding back a huge body of water and will fail in three days' time, flooding the valley. The focus of the plot is the valley's residents evacuating to a massive natural boat to ride out the flood in. After the flood subsides, the animals are seen returning to the rest of the valley, while the heroes strike out into the new valley accessible following another breach in the valley's walls. | |
