Abstract: Abstract Evacuating people during emergency situations or natural disasters is a complex task. In simulation systems, evacuees have been treated equally, or at least physical difference such as the evacuees’ ages and genders are considered as parameters of simulations. We believe the content of guidance information influences their mental states, as well as helps to alleviate anxiety about their own and their family’s safety, and leads to evacuation behaviors based on their situations. The effect of guidance information as it relates to family relationships among agents is simulated with our ABS evacuation simulation system. Three evacuation scenarios involving different types of disasters are simulated and the results are discussed.
