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.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the computer, whether the emergency conditions are changing, based on the received emergency condition real-time data.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

in response to determining that the emergency conditions are changing, generating, by the computer, a new PEEP based on the on at least the emergency condition real-time data, and the received stored user data.

12. A non-transitory computer program product for generating and transmitting a Personalized Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP), the computer program product comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;
