Chip Kroh<p>Disaster evacuations can take much longer than people expect</p><p>How people perceive risks and the environmental and social cues around them directly affect the speed of their response.</p><p>Researchers are developing systems to help communities model how their residents are likely to respond in the event of a disaster. The results can help emergency crews understand where bottlenecks are likely to occur along evacuation routes, depending on the timing of the notice and the movement of the fire. They can also help fire managers understand where neighborhoods may need to be notified faster or need more help evacuating.</p><p><a href="https://theconversation.com/disaster-evacuations-can-take-much-longer-than-people-expect-computer-simulations-could-help-save-lives-and-avoid-chaos-247668" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/disaster-e</span><span class="invisible">vacuations-can-take-much-longer-than-people-expect-computer-simulations-could-help-save-lives-and-avoid-chaos-247668</span></a></p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/emergencymanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emergencymanagement</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/wildlandfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlandfires</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/preparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>preparedness</span></a></p>
