Just as a note - The quest says you have to defend "your caravan and get the evacuees to safety" but in reality its just one evacuee who follows you around. No caravan or others. I waited for a while for them to show up...

Ran into a problem with this quest. Ran to the bridges, the evacuee pointed northeast, so I headed to the refugee camp. Without paying attention, I hadn't noticed the evacuee had totally stopped, and lost them, and had to redo the quest. Take care, it's easy to miss the evacuee stopping!

important: when then evacuee points northeast, you have reached the "quest completed" point. but you have to stand near him to achieve it, had to do it twice because of that.
