Rescuing and evacuation routes planning of less conflicting is critical for dealing with a disaster management problem. An efficient planning tool to produce an emergency managing plan to rescue and evacuate the affected people at the same time in event of disasters is ur-gently in need. By combining Hamiltonian planar graphs, we proposed a Combo-Hamiltonian dual route (CHDR) approach for dealing with disasters of unknown scale. We simulated and produced artificial disasters for testing and studying the effectiveness of rescue and evacua-tion inside hazardous area. We also define several key performance indices for evaluating the goodness of different planning strategies.
Keywords: rescue routes, evacuation plan, Hamiltonian path, dual routes, basic hazard block
