.....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.
