Roxborough Park Community Wildfire Evacuation Drill: Data Collection and Model Benchmarking.

Unlabelled: Wildfires are increasing in scale, frequency and longevity, and are affecting new locations as environmental conditions change. This paper presents a dataset collected during a community evacuation drill performed in Roxborough Park, Colorado (USA) in 2019. This is a wildland-urban interface community including approximately 900 homes.

Guidance for the Model User on Representing Human Behavior in Egress Models.

Structures are currently designed and constructed in accordance with prescriptive and performance-based (PBD) methodologies to ensure a certain level of occupant safety during fire emergencies. The performance-based approach requires the quantification of both ASET (Available Safe Egress Time) and RSET (Required Safe Egress Time) to determine the degree of safety provided. This article focuses on the RSET side of the equation, for which a fire protection or fire safety engineer would use some type of egress modelling approach to estimate evacuation performance.

Risk perception in fire evacuation behavior revisited: definitions, related concepts, and empirical evidence.

Risk perception (RP) is studied in many research disciplines (e.g., safety engineering, psychology, and sociology).
