N2 - In response to escalating climatic threats, this research innovatively integrates flood risk assessment with road network dynamics to formulate optimized evacuation strategies in flood-susceptible regions. Employing a path-based traffic model and flood risk index, our method significantly decreases travel durations by 25% and vehicle hours by 20% compared to traditional frameworks. Complexities arise in intricate evacuation systems. Zone 4 was a critical node due to a 15% rise in vehicular inflow and unique flood risks, emphasizing the necessity for tailored evacuation plans considering variable traffic and flood risks. Our approach enhanced evacuation efficiency and also resulted in a 10% increase in fuel consumption while highlighting areas for further optimization. This study proposes a refined, sustainable evacuation model that harmonizes flood risks and traffic dynamics and offers insights for resilient urban development amid climatic uncertainties.
