**rather than "evacuation" or "relocation," the following terms for this event are more accurate: "imprisonment, incarceration, internment, detention, confinement or lockup."

**rather than "assembly centers," the term "temporary detention centers" is an accurate alternative.

**rather than "relocation camps," "internment camps, detention camps, prison camps, or concentration camps" is more accurate.

**rather than "evacuee," "detainee, internee, inmate or prisoner" is more accurate.
