Data Collection for Evacuations of a Heritage Cultural Centre
Three evacuation scenarios of a Cultural Centre in Canada were documented and considered. The first scenario (Scenario 1) represents an unplanned evacuation during the day where an emergency pull station was activated by an occupant. The next scenarios (Scenarios 2 and 3) were annual evacuation drills held over the course of two years. These annual drills were held on days where admission was free to the occupants. Scenario 3 featured implementation of changes to signage and staff training to improve the exit use and egress efficiency. All scenarios are described herein. It is critical to remark that all scenarios can be considered evacuation drills. Neither the staff nor the occupants were informed to the nature of the emergency.
