'''Evacuation''' refers to the planned movement of [[population]] from a city or district perceived as being under threat or for other reasons. Examples include the recent (2008) evacuation of [[New Orleans]] prior to [[Hi]urricane Gustav]], and the evecuation during the [[Second World War]] of children from the major cities of [[Britain]]. Following the [[Russo-Finnish War]] of 1939-40 the Finnish population was eveacuated from the areas ceded to the [[Soviet Union]].
