  <dc:title>Least-Cost Pedestrian Evacuation Modeling</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package evacpath version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Tools for road-constrained, least-cost pedestrian evacuation modeling.
    The package provides reusable functions for preparing hazard zones, generating
    road-based evacuation origin points, identifying escape/safety points, creating
    slope-based conductance surfaces, calculating least-cost distance to safety,
    and converting distance outputs into evacuation-time polygons. It is designed
    to support workflows like tsunami evacuation modeling while remaining
    adaptable to other regions and hazards. Tsunami-specific helpers support separate
    land-only hazard zones, water-combined escape zones, road-aware escape
    boundaries, and study-area inset cropping for quality assurance and quality
    control. Methods build on Cordero et al. (2025) &lt;doi:10.1007/s44367-025-00018-y&gt;,
    Lewis (2021) &lt;doi:10.1007/s10816-021-09522-w&gt;, and Joseph Lewis's
    'leastcostpath' package (2023) &lt;https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leastcostpath&gt;.</dc:description>
