Within the framework of global climate change, there is a recurring occurrence floods and waterlogging disasters, which pose significant risks to human lives overall safety. The phenomenon urbanization has led an increased vulnerability cities flood disasters. Evacuation serves as viable strategy for adapting managing intense precipitation events, mitigating impact Hence, meticulous choice shelters emerged crucial element in enhancing effectiveness evacuations. Nevertheless, process choosing sometimes neglects consider potential flooding not undergone thorough testing. objective this research systematically choose within central metropolitan region, incorporate risk considerations into shelter site model, assist consequences resulting from change. To begin with, employ two-dimensional shallow water model order replicate instances produce data on inundation. Subsequently, simulation results are utilized assess using entropy weight approach. This then incorporated multi-objective optimization determine optimal placement. Ultimately, ABM was employed create crowd evacuation urban areas, confirming efficacy selection thoroughly examining influence various efficiency community emergency evacuation. study's findings indicate that total 26 were chosen study area methodology, ensuring inclusion all affected populations. utilization models places been shown enhance efficiency, confirmed by model. decline population's death rate 1.94% 0.98%, increase 97.4% 98.4%, reduction number casualties 133 individuals.
