The focus of this paper is on the using geoinformatics by representatives of local government and local authorities in crisis management to refine and optimize the planning of the evacuation process of the population at risk of flooding which is the most frequent reason for the crisis situations in the Czech Republic. The main tasks in planning area evacuations, as the primary protection of the population, are the estimation of the number of evacuation vehicles required for the vulnerable population and the planning of evacuation or escape routes to evacuation centers. The responsibility of dealing with emergencies and in particular the protection of the population lies with the local government and their representatives who could use a commonly available software for geoinformatics and its tools for planning and better community preparedness for crisis situations. We present an optimization model of evacuation vehicle runs that can be used to optimizing the number of vehicles and calculating the time needed for evacuation. This model was tested by testing and was also used in the first case study mentioned in this article. Searching for suitable evacuation routes using geoinformation software is the subject of a second case study. We describe how to create evacuation maps.
