The City Evacuation System is an online application for compiling logistical information about a city and notifying subscribers in the event of a major incident or emergency. There are four main parts to the system:

1. Content management system for maintaining a publicly-accessible website
2. Contact and subscriber database
   
3. Mapping and reporting tools for the city area
4. Notifications and broadcasts within that area in the event of an emergency
