Etymology
From 'evakuieren' (to evacuate) + the noun-forming suffix '-ung'. The '-ung' suffix is equivalent to '-tion' in English and almost always creates a feminine noun (die).
Memory Tips
Remember that nouns ending in '-ung' are feminine (die) and their plural is '-ungen'. So, die Evakuierung becomes die Evakuierungen.
