The objective of the course is to acquire the necessary knowledge for planning and designing the evacuation and rescue of people in conditions of catastrophic events and fires.

Based on the acquired knowledge, students will be trained to plan and design optimal evacuation routes and formulate and define measures that will ensure the preparedness of vulnerable persons for timely response and evacuation process.

Evacuation – basic concepts and definitions, Evacuation decision making and human behaviour in fire, Egress strategies, Evacuation stages, Evacuation corridors, Evacuation walking speed, Calculation of evacuation, Computer modelling of evacuation, Evacuation drills, calculation of time, periodical repetition of drills, Evacuation plans, Calculation occupancy - the maximum number of people who need to be evacuated

Learning process is carried out through auditory lectures and computer exercises, using modern programs to simulate evacuation.
