Evacuation planning should answer practical questions before an emergency makes the process stressful.
Public access
Visitors, customers, service users, tenants, or contractors may not know exits, assembly areas, or who will provide direction.
Staff role confusion

Changed exits, room use, occupants, tenants, staffing, or assembly areas can make older procedures inaccurate.
Drill observations
If drills show route confusion, slow movement, communication issues, or unclear assembly practices, procedures should be reviewed.
