Abstract
Highly populated areas in India are affected by flood due to rivers passing from low elevation and highly populated areas. Flood comes with effects of loss of property and human lives. In this research paper, we are discussing flood evacuation planning for three villages situated at the bank of Mahi River in Gujarat. QGIS software is used for evacuation planning. Remote sensing and GIS are generally used during disaster for evacuation planning and decision making. Mahi is one of the longest river of Gujarat passing from highly populated density area this produces flood due to heavy rain during monsoon. In this research based on elevation, population density, and resources available for flood three villages are selected. Based on available road network rescue and evacuation planning is done. Flood evacuation plan is suggested based on available nearby resources and available high elevation road network.
