PLANNING
In a time of crisis when people need to flee a building and when rescue teams are rushing in to get others out of harm's way, seconds matter, functions matter, and planning matters. Crucial design assessment and mission criteria must be considered:
Threat Assessment: Smoke, Fire, Civil Unrest, Urgent Medical Conditions
The potential number of people in the building at the same time
The length of the rescue routes
The probability of panic
Choke points
