###### Abstract
Various simulation models have been developed for evacuation planning, including models solely produced for evacuations, e.g., TransCAD ([[https://www.caliper.com/](https://www.caliper.com/)]([https://www.caliper.com/](https://www.caliper.com/)), accessed on 15 July 2023) and TRANSIMS ([[https://sourceforge.net/projects/transimsstudio/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/transimsstudio/)]([https://sourceforge.net/projects/transimsstudio/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/transimsstudio/)), accessed on 15 July 2023) [17], a model that tries to simulate the wildfire and evacuation simultaneously, e.g., WUI-NITY 2 ([[https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Wildland-Urban-Interface/WUINITY-a-platform-for-the-simulation-of-wildland-urban-interface-fire-evacuation](https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Wildland-Urban-Interface/WUINITY-a-platform-for-the-simulation-of-wildland-urban-interface-fire-evacuation)]([https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Wildland-Urban-Interface/WUINITY-a-platform-for-the-simulation-of-wildland-urban-interface-fire-evacuation](https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Data-research-and-tools/Wildland-Urban-Interface/WUINITY-a-platform-for-the-simulation-of-wildland-urban-interface-fire-evacuation)), accessed on 15 July 2023) [18], and simplified simulations and models to define the evacuation trigger by setting up a parameter that would activate once crossed by fire [19; 20], e.g., MedSpread ([[https://sites.google.com/site/medfireproject/medspread-model](https://sites.google.com/site/medfireproject/medspread-model)]([https://sites.google.com/site/medfireproject/medspread-model](https://sites.google.com/site/medfireproject/medspread-model)), accessed on 15 July 2023) [21], HURREVAC-Extended (HVX) ([[https://www.hurrevac.com/](https://www.hurrevac.com/)]([https://www.hurrevac.com/](https://www.hurrevac.com/)), accessed on 15 July 2023) [22], and WUIVAC ([[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-006-9032-y](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-006-9032-y)]([https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-006-9032-y](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-006-9032-y)), accessed on 15 July 2023) [23]. Fire danger indices are prognostic tools for the occurrence of wildfires. They are also useful tools for the preparation of operational and management forces, which are mostly local services, for example, the Copernicus Fire Danger Forecast System [24], which provides data on the risk of fire in Europe or the Fire Weather Index for the USA [25]. The mentioned models and simulations have different approaches regarding microscale or macroscale points of view. A microscale approach simulates the evacuation scenarios and manages them in small urban areas, like small villages or communities. This microscale approach analyzes the behavior of each individual in terms of decision-making and evacuation means of transport and handles them on a small scale. On the other hand,a macroscale approach must be considered for larger communities to plan and manage an effective evacuation. Due to herding and the mass movement of the population, these types of evacuations must be handled macroscopically to avoid traffic jams or lack of equipment in different community sectors [17; 26]. This paper aims to review the research on evacuation and evacuation modeling under the threat of wildfire. A review of the research in the field of evacuation and evacuation modeling under the threat of wildfires enlightens the works already developed in this field and clarifies the gaps and challenges that need to be tackled. The contribution of this work is to recognize the future work and developments required in the field of wildfire evacuation by introducing the most important works already done and the remaining challenges in this field.
