1. Have the following information available:
• total number of residents;
• total number of the people occupying each building/floor /level
and occupants with special needs (sick, old, disabled) and their
location.

2. Acquire the most recent ground layout or plan/map.

• Identify area for temporary refuge of injured.
• Staging point for emergency response.
• Identify area for evacuated building / facility occupants

3. Determine how many persons will be evacuated-

1 square meter = 3 persons)
4. Obtain a building layout/floor plan for each
facility / building that shows the rooms,
corridors, staircases and exit points.

. Facilitate conduct of training

 Roles of Team Leaders:
1. Conduct facility survey on emergency exit routes ( look for hazards)
such as:
• Hanging, unstable objects/structures,
• Condition of power lines and utility poles,
• Narrow alleys between building, elevators, corridors that are too
narrow,
• Blockages along the corridors and exit points.
2. Suggest corrections or improvements to the
current set-up (e.g. clean-up stuff that block
the corridors and exit points must always
remain unblocked)
3. Disseminate information relative to emergency response
activities.
4. Direct building occupants in evacuating to building going to
designated evacuation area.
5. Report to coordinator whether/building/floor/level/facility is
cleared.
6. Accounting of evacuated building/facility occupants
Sample Computation in the Determination of Evacuation Area

No of Occupants : 1,312 persons

Assumption : 3 persons per sq.m.

Area Needed : 1,312 = 437 sq. m

3

For Five (5) Buildings

No of Occupants per Building : 184 persons
Assumption : 3 persons per sq.m.
Total No. of Persons: 5 x 184 = 920 persons

Area Needed : 920 = 306.67 sq. m

3

Area Needed = Length x Width

Time Element
Sample Computation

Time to take to evacuate the 35 storey building

Assumption:
• Time to take to evacuate
from each floor to the stairs…... 15 – 20 seconds
• Time to take the service stairs
from each floor ……………………… 15 – 20 seconds

• Time to take to evacuate the building

20 sec. + 20 sec. = 40 seconds
x 33 floors ........... 1320 seconds
or 22 minutes
