Abstract

Over the last few years interest in emergency evacuation of buildings has grown considerably, as a result of fire incidents in tall buildings and intensive study of the movement and control of smoke. As part of a total approach to life safety in buildings there exists a need for information describing the context, procedure, and efficacy of building evacuation.This Note reports a major evacuation exercise initiated and conducted by the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority in Vancouver.
