Live Webinar: November 1, 2022, 1:00pm EDT
Speaker: Steve Gwynne

Title: Human Behavior in Fire and Supporting Data
The presentation will introduce the expected evacuee behaviour, decision-making and movement during a response to a fire, and the data-sets available to support the representation of this response within the engineering process; e.g. the application of engineering calculations and evacuation models.

Live Webinar: November 8, 2022, 1:00pm EDT
Speaker: Aoife Hunt

Title: Modelling Trends
This presentation will introduce the evacuation modelling methods: from hand calculations to more sophisticated computer simulation tools. It will draw on the latest thinking in approaches to model development, verification, validation and provide insight into the real-life timeline of evacuation modelling projects.

Live Webinar:  November 14, 2022, 1:00pm EDT
Speaker: Karen Boyce

Title: Considering Diverse Populations
This presentation will encourage the attendees to recognize the diverse nature of building populations and accommodate this in the engineering process. It will draw on real evacuation experiences and research studies to explore the potential impacts on evacuation dynamics and issues/challenges for design and management.

Live Webinar: November 17, 2022, 1:00pm EDT
The panel will consist of fire safety professionals with significant evacuation and human behavior background and experience. The panelists will be asked questions from their presentations as well as other topics that are submitted by the participants.
