Results

Simulation results from our case studies indicate that occupants’ social behavior and initial delay to evacuate can lead to very different congestion patterns and evacuation times. This kind of analysis can be useful in many applications, for example, architects can design occupant-centric floor layouts and ensure that the egress design can handle a wide range of occupant behaviors. The simulation results can also help design and placement of signage to guide evacuation. Such analysis can be useful for facility management to plan evacuation strategies and design

Flood events are highly complex and their development process is significantly influenced by various conditions. The findings show that the most important factor is the water level which determines the time available to respond.

This paper presents evidence to suggest that strategic decision-making following a shock event involves a more intuitive, less analytical and less consultative approach, while decision making in a stable environment is characterized by a more cooperative, formal and analytical process.Decision-making following a shock event tends to be simplified and fast, whereas decision-making in a stable environment tends to be comprehensive and slow. Finally, this paper will assist managers to develop strategies and policies to better manage and cope with the impact of shock events in the future.
