Also means
to reposition
Usage Note
Reubicar means to move someone or something to a different location, often in administrative, urban-planning, or humanitarian contexts: reubicar a los damnificados (to relocate flood victims), reubicar oficinas (to relocate offices). It is a straightforward prefix compound (re- + ubicar), but learners should note that ubicar itself is more commonly used in Latin America than in Spain, where situar or colocar are preferred. In Spain reubicar may therefore sound slightly Latin American.
Examples
"El ayuntamiento decidió reubicar a las familias afectadas."

The council decided to relocate the affected families.
