if possible

I think the previous answers have stayed too close to the very wordy Spanish sentence.

My suggestion: Use the evacuation routes if possible.

Thanks. And actually, though the context is flimsy, it's something to do with earthquakes

able to move around

To move/go somewhere use the evacuation routes, if you are able to move/travel/move around
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : This is effectively saying "use the evacuation routes to move if you are able to move". I know that's what the Spanish says, but it's not very elegant.

(level of) mobility

Use the evacuation routes established for your level of mobility to move.

Creo que en efecto está diciendo que usen las personas las rutas de evacuación en función de su capacidad de moverse (eg. en silla de ruedas, persona mayor, etc.). Sin más contexto no puedo estar 100% segura de esto, pero tiene pinta.

possibility of relocation

A recommendation advises people to use evacuation routes which are available to their means of transport, in the event of an earthquake with a measurable intensity.

(Se aconseja que se usen las rutas de evacuación que están disponibles según los métodos disponibles y posibles de transporte, en el evento de un sismo de intensidad medible.)
