Disaster areas have been figured out as a typical usage scenario for mobile wireless ad-hoc networks (MANETs). In contrast to this, there are no specific mobility or traffic models for MANETs. In this paper we present a realistic approach to realize the mobility in disaster areas based on tactical issues of civil protection. The new model is analyzed and compared to Gauss-Markov and Random Waypoint mobility models. Furthermore, we present first simulation results. The mobility model analysis as well as the simulation are based on two real disasters that occurred in Germany in 1999 and 2001. We show that disaster area scenarios have specific characteristics. Thus, they should be considered in MANET performance evaluation.
