The evacuees were children and specific adults who evacuated from London and other towns to protect them from being killed by the bombs Hitler kept sending to England. In the English language evacuees is the proper reference for the people who had to evacuate. We would not say evactuationers or evatuators.
If you are asking where children from the cities being bombed or likely to be bombed in WWII were evacuated to, then the answer is the countryside. We had a few cockney evacuees in my village. We treated them like aliens from Mars. no loser

In the movie "Evacuees," Alan Miles mentions that he was carrying a small suitcase with him when he evacuated. He reflects on the limited possessions he could take, emphasizing the emotional weight of leaving behind his home and life. This moment captures the stark reality of displacement during the evacuation.
In the movie "Evacuees," school classes for the evacuated children were held in a countryside village, specifically in a local church. The setting provided a makeshift classroom for the children who were relocated due to the war. The teachers adapted to the new environment, creating a nurturing space for the children amidst the challenges of evacuation.
There may have been evacuees but no one has any prove. Except for in 1917 when two girls sent a letter home to their brother but no one knows if they were just on holiday or if they actually been evacuated.
Because it was too dangerous for them to stay in London (or other cities) where they could be bombed. They were sent to the country instead, to keep them safe.
Yes my mother and her brother were evacuated to New Zealand when they were aged 9 and 11.
