Abstract: Emergency planning is a set of measures and procedures for detecting and combating accidents or incidents at nuclear facilities. It is also intended for detecting, mitigating and eliminating the consequences of releases of radioactive substances into the environment during the handling of nuclear materials, radioactive waste or spent nuclear fuel and during the transport of radioactive materials, and ensuring the collective protection of the population. The evacuation of persons is an issue that has been closely and directly linked to the civil protection of the population and the system of protection against accidents and fires for a long time. In the field of protection against the effects of accidents and fires, the legislative term evacuation of persons is used. In the field of crisis management, legal regulations work with the term evacuation of the population. The population means all persons in places threatened by an emergency, with the exception of persons who will participate in rescue work, manage the evacuation, or perform other activities related to eliminating the consequences of the emergency. In many situations, evacuation of persons is a necessary process that can prevent loss of human life threats to health and the environment. The evacuation process is modified in practical applications into a number of different forms. The standard procedure, which involves quickly leaving the endangered area in the event of an emergency, does not fully express evacuation in its entirety. This mainly concerns evacuation processes associated with the threat of radioactive substances.
