Abstract
A system to detect an alarm condition in a predetermined facility is coupled to a data acquisition system which collects information as to condition and location of residents of the facility. In response to detection of the alarm condition, the data acquisition system automatically forwards resident condition and location information to a filter module. That module filters the information to determine which residents still are in the facility and need to be evacuated. Information as to such residents can be graphically presented on a per floor basis of the facility substantially in real-time to facilitate first responders in the evacuation of those residents.
