Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for generating and transmitting a Personalized Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). The computer receives an emergency condition real-time data from a plurality of building sensors, a tracking data of at least one user from a plurality of tracking sensors, a facility structural data from a facility database, and a stored user data from a user database for the at least one user. The computer generates a personalized emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) for the at least one user, wherein is a set of recommendations to put the user in the safest position, based on at least the emergency condition real-time data and the received stored user data. The computer transmits the PEEP to a user mobile device, wherein the user mobile device presents the PEEP to the at least one user.

Claims

1. A method for generating and transmitting a Personalized Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP), the method comprising:

receiving, by a computer, an emergency condition real-time data from a plurality of building sensors and receiving, by the computer, a tracking data of at least one user from a plurality of tracking sensors, wherein the emergency condition real-time data includes at least one from the location of the emergency, alarms going off, and/or other data from any sensor within the building;

receiving, by the computer, a facility structural data from a facility database, wherein the facility structural data includes building layout, location of stairs, location of exits, and any other stored data about the building;

receiving, by the computer, a stored user data from a user database for the at least one user, wherein the stored user data includes a user age, a user gender, a user medical condition, and any other user data, wherein the user medical condition indicates that the user is visually impaired;

generating, by the computer, a personalized emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) for the at least one user, wherein is a set of recommendations to put the user in the safest position, based on at least the emergency condition real-time data and the received stored user data, wherein the generated PEEP includes acoustic instructions for the least one user;

transmitting, by the computer, the PEEP to a user mobile device, wherein the user mobile device plays the acoustic instructions of the PEEP to the at least one user;

receiving, by a computer, a change in the emergency condition real-time data from the plurality of building sensors and receiving, by the computer, new tracking data of at least one user from the plurality of tracking sensors;

generating, by the computer, a new PEEP for the at least one user, wherein is a set of recommendations to put the user in the safest position, based on at least the changing emergency condition real-time data and the received stored user data, wherein the generated new PEEP includes acoustic instructions for the least one user; and

transmitting, by the computer, the new PEEP to the user mobile device, wherein the user mobile device plays the acoustic instructions of the PEEP to the at least one user.
