  2. Evacuation model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evacuation_Model

    Evacuation models are simulation tools designed to predict the movement and behaviour of individuals during an emergency evacuation. [1] [2] These models are today used to simulate evacuations for several disasters, such as building fires, wildfires, hurricanes, and tsunamis. Thes models have been under development since the late 1970s and they ...

  3. Evacuation simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evacuation_simulation

    In the case of the evacuation of a whole district, the transport phase (see emergency evacuation) is usually covered by queueing models (see below). Pedestrian evacuation simulation are popular in the fire safety design of building when a performance based approach is used. [7] Simulations are not primarily methods for optimization. To optimize ...

  4. Map seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_seed

    In video games using procedural world generation, the map seed is a (relatively) short number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world ("map"). "). This means that while the seed-unique generated map may be many megabytes in size (often generated incrementally and virtually unlimited in potential size), it is possible to reset to the unmodified map, or the unmodified ...

    Emergency evacuation is an immediate egress or escape of people away from an area that contains an imminent threat, an ongoing threat or a hazard to lives or property.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_evacuations

    Evacuees fleeing Hurricane Rita in Texas, United States. This list of mass evacuations includes emergency evacuations of a large number of people in a short period of time. An emergency evacuation is the movement of persons from a dangerous place due to the threat or occurrence of a disastrous event whether from natural or man made causes, or as the result of war

  7. Wikipedia : WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Tracks

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject...

    This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1985 to 2005. The map was created with the WPTC track map generator by Nilfanion.. The track map generator program generates a track map from the NHC HURDAT data, [A 1] or from Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) B-deck data files (commonly referred to as "best track" files).

  8. Emergency Alert System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Alert_System

    The National Public Warning System, also known as the Primary Entry Point (PEP) stations, is a network of 77 radio stations that are, in coordination with FEMA, used to originate emergency alert and warning information to the public before, during, and after incidents and disasters.

  9. List of chaotic maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chaotic_maps

    In mathematics, a chaotic map is a map (an evolution function) that exhibits some sort of chaotic behavior. Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps usually take the form of iterated functions. Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems.
