Palestinian urban areas are considered highly dense populated areas with limited roadway network to service the community. In addition, the Palestinian areas lack the legislative laws to enforce a building code that would reduce the extent of damage and number of casualties. One of the basic issues of concern is the availability of an evacuation plan of injured and homeless people in case of an earthquake, in such conditions that would close part or most of the roadway network. The objective of this research work is to set the bases and methodology for an evacuation plan and provide a mechanism for emergency vehicles to maneuver within the devastated area. Nablus city was considered as a case study for developing such an evacuation plan. The GIS was used as a tool to create a database for the capacity of the roadway network in addition to the basic scenarios of road closures for different levels of earthquakes. Analysis of this database gave the different scenarios of evacuation which include access plans for each geographical area within the urban setting, recommended health and other emergency services centers for each zone, proposed storage buildings for emergency equipments, and work plans for emergency teams.
