• Abstract: This paper focuses on the crucial task of addressing the evacuation of hazardous places, which holds great importance for coordinators, event hosts, and authorities. To facilitate the development of effective solutions, the paper employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, specifically Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), to construct a simulation model for evacuation. NetLogo is selected as the simulation tool of choice due to its ability to provide a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour in distressing situations within hazardous environments. The primary objective of this paper is to enhance our comprehension of how individuals react and respond during such distressing situations. By leveraging AI and MAS, the simulation model aims to capture the complex dynamics of evacuation scenarios, enabling policymakers and emergency planners to make informed decisions and implement more efficient and effective evacuation strategies. This paper endeavours to contribute to the advancement of evacuation planning and ultimately improve the safety and well-being of individuals in hazardous places
