About

This study looks at how to improve emergency evacuations in city neighborhoods. It uses computer simulations to estimate the time people take before starting to evacuate during emergencies. By understanding this "pre-evacuation" time, planners can create better evacuation plans and make sure everyone gets out safely and quickly. The study focuses on urban residential areas where many people live close together, making quick evacuation important for safety. The goal is to help communities be more prepared for emergencies like fires or natural disasters by improving response times and ensuring everyone's safety.
