Optimum Evacuation in Public Gathering Places During the Time of Disaster

Abstract

Urbanization is rapidly increasing all over the world. Past two decades in India many cities have attracted large population. Reasons being the belief of better education health care job/business prospects etc. For meeting the demands of population density many high-rise structures and large public gathering places are emerging in cities. Places where few thousands of people can meet are quite common in major cities. It is due to this reason evacuation at the public gathering places has gained a lot of importance.
