evakuierte

Evakuierte is a German term formed from the past participle of evakuieren, meaning evacuated. It can function as an adjective to describe people or areas that have been emptied for safety, as in evacuated people or evacuated zones, and it can also serve as a noun in the plural form die Evakuierten to refer to the evacuated persons collectively.

The word is commonly used in contexts involving emergency management, disasters, or armed conflict, where authorities order or arrange the removal of residents to protect them from danger. It appears in reporting, official documents, and civil protection communications to denote both the action of removing people and the status of those who have been removed.

Related terms include Evakuierung, the act of evacuation, and evakuieren, the verb meaning to evacuate. Other related expressions describe facilities or measures associated with evacuation, such as Evakuierungszentrum (evacuation center) or Evakuierungslager (evacuation camp) in certain historical or humanitarian contexts. The term is part of a broader vocabulary surrounding crisis response and displacement, and it emphasizes safety-oriented relocation rather than permanent resettlement.

In usage, evakuierte can appear in descriptive phrases (the evakuierte Bevölkerung) and in compound compounds within official instructions (Evakuiertenstatus, Evakuierungsanordnung). Its meaning remains focused on temporary relocation to safety rather than on long-term displacement.
