Evakuoitavan

Evakuoitavan is a Finnish term used in safety planning and emergency management. It denotes the person, animal, object, or area that must be evacuated during a threat or incident, as identified in evacuation procedures. The term is derived from the verb evakuoida ("to evacuate") and the present-participle evakuoitava, with evakuoitavan being one of the inflected forms used in descriptive or imperative contexts.

In practical use, evakuoitavan refers to the target of evacuation measures in plans, drills, and risk assessments. For example, a plan may specify routes and assembly points for evakuoitavan, or a directive may state the responsibilities of the personnel responsible for the evakuoitavan's safety. The word is more commonly encountered in formal texts than in everyday speech.

Variants and related terms include evakuoida (to evacuate), evakuointisuunnitelma (evacuation plan), evakuointireitti (evacuation route), and evakuoita (to evacuate someone or something). When referring specifically to people, Finnish often uses evakuoitavat or evakuoidut depending on the grammatical role, while evakuoitavan generally marks possession or relation within a clause.

The term reflects prioritization in emergency management: evakuoitavan status helps determine resources, timing, and responsibility during an incident.
