SFPE Live Premium Webinar Series - Human Behavior in Fire: Theory, Tools, & Practice

Please note: The series may be purchased as a bundle for $125-$200 or purchased by individual webinars. 

Understanding how humans behave during fire is essential to designing effective evacuation systems and ensuring life safety during fire and other emergency events. As such, the public benefits from consistent understanding of the factors that influence the responses and behaviors of people when threatened by fire and the application of reliable methodologies to evaluate and estimate human response in buildings and structures. This webinar series will assist fire protection engineers in better understanding basic human behavior theory, data available to fire protection engineers, and tools used for evacuation design. There will also be a discussion on how these principles are used in fire protection engineering practice.


Part 1: Theory & Data - May 6
Part 2: Tools for Evacuation Design - May 13
Part 3: Engineering Practice - May 20
Part 4: Power Hour - May 27

All sessions take place from 10:00 AM to 11:30 PM ET
