Essay / How to evacuate a fire - 1090
During a fire, many environmental factors can influence the behavior of occupants in the space. This reaction will determine whether the other occupants will find themselves in danger or whether their choice will put other people in danger. How an occupant is alerted to the presence of a fire can determine the perceived level of threat. Once the threat is perceived, a course of action will be decided and implemented. In many studies, a key element remains a constant in observing behavior through a fire modeling program. The programs are used to predict occupant foot traffic but will never be able to determine the actual decision and the various obstacles that may develop during the event. It allows the fire protection designer to determine which building features need to be updated to allow for better traffic flow. There is only a limited amount of information that can be captured and manipulated to achieve a realistic result. In order to expand the predictive theory of human behavior in the event of a fire, it is necessary to identify the factors that will prompt a person to take certain actions. Examples of actions taken during an evacuation include searching for information, relaying the information to others, and preparing for the evacuation. It was through audio and live signals that the best result was observed. Before individuals perform an action, they perceive certain cues, interpret the risk of the situation based on those cues, and then make a decision about what to do based on those interpretations. Certain factors also influence each phase of the process. These factors influence whether the individual perceives the signal or not, influence the type of interpretation they form of the situation and the risk based on this middle of paper......sure. Alternative plans and approaches should be discussed with middle and line management to ensure understanding and cooperation. Behavior during evacuation in the event of a fire in a building is understood as a logical attempt to cope and manage a complex situation. We can view behavior change as the result of a behavioral process. Each behavioral aspect will begin with a new cue and information from the social and physical environment. The signals must be recognized, interpreted, and then a decision is made about what measures are necessary to preserve life. The process that a person will undergo will be repeated several times, for example in a model to see what the best outcome is. By identifying the above factors, it can help influence each phase of the behavioral process, predict certain possibilities and form a behavioral model for evacuation in the event of a building fire..
