EVACUATION PATTERNS IN HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

Computer Engineering electronics Engineering Civil Engineering

This topic deals with the evacuation pattern in high rise buildings mainly on the onset of fire. The ability to warn population of the impending disasters has become a reality only in the last few years. The ability to track and warn must be complimented with the capability of effecting a timely evacuation of potentially threatened areas. The two problems that exist are the ability to adequately disseminate a warning of an impending disaster and that of producing an evacuation once the warning has been received. These problems can be overcome by the development of a timely and accurate warning system, identification of escape routes, and establishment of a policy wherein every one within a threatened area is required to evacuate when an order is given. loading..
