3 New NOTICES

Please sign your name after every post, Nathaniel changed the skin and for some reason the 'show who posted this' thing got screwed up and now he's trying to fix it. Hopefully he does :D

Please update me on your status on whatever you are working on, don't wait for me to go bother you because it's quite troublesome for both you and me. XD

Before the product is completed, everyone has to summarize whatever they have researched, including me.

When I say summarized, I mean all the main points of your research. Please categorize them neatly. (such as putting all the information on volcanoes under 'Volcanoes')

This is so that instead of focusing on all the unimportant points, we can instead push our focus to the important points of the research.

Please do it in this format:

Summary of Evacuation

Because our topic is related to a natural theme, I have researched more into emergency evacuation in case of disasters.

The Reason for this is to find out currently how the government has helped to make evacuations more efficient and fast in order to save as many people as possible.

Sequence of Evacuation (Standard operating Procedure)
Detection
Decision
Alarm
Reaction
Movement to an area of refuge or an assembly station
Transportation

The particular phases are different for different objects, e.g., for ships a distinction between assembly and embarkation (to boats or rafts) is made. These are separate from each other. The decision whether to enter the boats or rafts is thus usually made after assembly is completed.


Small Scale Evacuations
The strategy of small scale evacuations (such as from buildings) vary depending on movement ability of the individuals.
Fast people would be asked to evacuate the building quickly.
Slow people who can evacuate would be evacuated but if they are too slow they would be asked to find a 'Safe Haven'*
*A safe haven is a place reinforced to protect against specific hazards, such as fire, smoke or structural collapse.


Large Scale Evacuations


Most large-scale evacuations in the past have been due to military attacks, most modern ones have been because of natural disasters.


I have not done the evacuation procedure on every single natural disaster yet, as it would take more time.
Hopefully some of it has been covered in Jaek Wern's posts.


In conclusion, even evacuations have a standard operating procedure towards them, even though the common population might not know of it.
