Workshop. Wildfire: Human Behaviour and Evacuation Modelling GEO-SAFE

This is the 7th GEO-SAFE workshop and the only GEO-SAFE workshop to be held in United Kingdom. This workshop will present the evacuation models developed and human behaviour analysis that has been performed in the GEO-SAFE project. The Workshop is organized within the Work Package WP2 of the European Project GEO-SAFE (H2020-MSCA-RISE project n. 691161). The key features of this workshop are:

• One day at UoG
• Main themes are:
  • Role, requirements and capabilities of evacuation modelling in the panning and management of wildfires.
  • Identification and calibration of human behaviour in response to wildfire.
  • DEvelopment and application of Large Scale Wildfire Evacuation Models
  • Embed evacuation simulation environment into a training environment.
  • Future directions for wildfire evacuation modelling.
• Consist of:
  • 7 lectures
  • 3 discussion panels
  • 1 hands on session using webEXODUS
  • 1 demonstration session showing recent developments in coupling wildfire, pedestrian an vehicle models.
