1. A method of providing for display, a map of at least a portion of a facility, comprising:
- receiving at least one indication of at least one hazardous condition;
identifying the map of the at least the portion of the facility, the map showing at least one path, each path corresponding to a plurality of links, each link corresponding to a plurality of nodes, each node corresponding to a point at least near a path in the facility, the identifying being responsive to the at least one indication of the at least one hazardous condition, and to a plurality of metrics, each metric corresponding to one of the plurality of links; and
providing for display the map identified.

24. A system for identifying a map of at least a portion of a facility, the system comprising:
-
a detector having at least one input for receiving at least one sensor state, the detector for providing at an output at least one indication of a hazardous condition responsive to the at least one sensor state; a map identifier having an input coupled to the detector input for receiving the at least one indication of at least one hazardous condition, the map identifier for identifying the map of the at least the portion of the facility, the map showing at least one path, each path corresponding to a plurality of links, each link corresponding to a plurality of nodes, each node corresponding to a point at least near a path in the facility, the map identifier identifying the map responsive to the at least one indication of the at least one hazardous condition and providing at an output at least one indication of the map identified, and to a plurality of metrics, each metric corresponding to one of the plurality of links; and a map displayer having an input coupled to the map identifier for receiving the at least one indication of the map identified, and for providing for display via an output a map corresponding to the map identifier received at the map displayer input.
