Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
What is the difference between an evacuation plan and a drill?
The plan is the document setting out routes, assembly points and the calculated evacuation time; the drill is that plan carried out in practice, to measure how ready the facility and its people are and to expose real-world gaps.
How is evacuation time calculated?
From the occupancy and its distribution across floors, the number and width of exits, and travel distances to those exits — because exit capacity governs the real time, not general assumptions.
Is a drill required for every facility?
It matters most in high-occupancy facilities such as malls, schools and hospitals, and authorities require it as part of emergency readiness.
