.....But Beacon is waaaay at the end of Vale, and separated from the city by a pretty big cliff and lake. One is almost-forced to take an airship just to get there, even in a normal day, let alone during a crisis. And even then, it's not like the people can get from the city to Beacon in a reasonably-quick time.

Your idea is fine, is sound, is logical. But Beacon's location makes me feel the Academies aren't really designed to be used as evacuation centers unless there's no other choice. I'm not saying they expect it to host a kingdom "the walls have all fallen" event, nor that they just have people run to Beacon to get their government issued pitchfork to defend the homeland...

I'm saying they evacuate vilages outside the walls, districts they had a breach event in but cannot say is cleared yet, whose people they don't have space for in neighboring districts.

and militia wise, I'm sayiing room for training barracks for those who volunteer or are drafted during an open conflict.
