Disaster Evacuation Simulation Tool

This project is a web-based agent-based simulation tool designed to model and visualize evacuation scenarios during natural disasters, with an initial focus on flood events. Built using Three.js, it integrates geospatial data from OpenStreetMap and ESA's Digital Elevation Models (DEM) to simulate real-world terrains and dynamic human behavior under emergency conditions.
