One who flees in search of refuge, as in times of war, political oppression, or religious persecution. Refugee = it wasn't war, political oppression or religious prosecution. They are not refugees. evacuee = A person evacuated from a dangerous area. There is nothing in the definition of evacuee to indicate it is PRIOR to a disaster If anything it would indicate more of after the area has turned dangerous. |
