Thus, an effective evacuation plan for the beach must be identified. However, conducting drills and evacuation exercises is costly and time-consuming. As an alternative, this study develops an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate the evacuation of beach users. The findings from this study reveal that, across the six considered scenarios, it is not feasible to evacuate all beach users in less than 35 min. The results also show there are only two routes available for evacuation\u2014the left and right sides\u2014with the left side offering a shorter evacuation time. However, both evacuation options come with advantages and disadvantages. The results of this study will be disseminated to local stakeholders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geosciences13110327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,26]],"date-time":"2023-10-26T06:20:16Z","timestamp":1698301216000},"page":"327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Agent-Based Modeling of Tsunami Evacuation at Figueirinha Beach, Setubal, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9182-7331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela","family":"Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Geographical Studies, Terra Associate Laboratory, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, University of Lisbon, Rua Branca Edm\u00e9e Marques, 1600-276 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8141-5053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon, Avenida das For\u00e7as Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"DIN\u00c2MIA\u2019CET-Iscte, Centre for the Study of Socioeconomic Change and the Territory, Avenida das For\u00e7as Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8600-1650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nelson","family":"Perdig\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon, Avenida das For\u00e7as Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"C\u00e2ndido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon, Avenida das For\u00e7as Armadas, 1649-026 Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Santos, A., Sousa, N., Kremers, H., and Bucho, J.L.
