• We model evacuation planning with traffic by using the Cell Transmission Model. • We implement a Branch-and-Benders-Cut algorithm to solve the problem. • We propose benchmark instances reflecting different topological characteristics. • We validate our approach on the 2023 wildfire evacuation of Chibougamau. • We evaluate preparedness strategies and provide actionable managerial insights.
