Safety / Trade fair evacuation
French term or phrase: rapatriement
Hello,

I've considered repatriation and don't feel it fits here.

The text is actually a diagram, showing different stages in evacuation procedure for a trade fair.

Scenario 1 is evacuation followed by all-clear
Scenario 2 is evacuation followed by transfer to a nearby site with shelter and heating
Scenario 3 is evacuation followed by "rapatriement par taxi ou car"

Bearing in mind that in 90% of cases this will mean drving people back to their hotels, what might be a suitable translation of "rapatriement"?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone. My preferred answer is "return transfer", suggested in the discussion box. I can't award points to that person as it isn't an "official" answer and Gayle's is closest.
