Understanding the Effectiveness of Notification Technologies in Assisting Vulnerable Populations

Different sections of the general population were examined to establish two criteria: whether they were particularly vulnerable to death in fire incidents; and whether these vulnerabilities could be reduced through developing and/or applying specific notification technologies. This study was conducted inorder to establish where there were omissions in our current understanding and where this coincided with technological solutions of particular interestOn a \ue9tudi\ue9 diff\ue9rentes sections de la population dans le but d?\ue9tablir deux (2) crit\ue8res pr\ue9cis, \ue0 savoir si ces personnes \ue9taient particuli\ue8rement vuln\ue9rables en termes de risque de d\ue9c\ue8s dans un incendie, et, le cas \ue9ch\ue9ant, s?il \ue9tait possible de r\ue9duire cette vuln\ue9rabilit\ue9 par le d\ue9velopement et/ou l?application de technologies d?avertissement sp\ue9cifiques. Cette \ue9tude visait \ue0 identifier les lacunes dans notre compr\ue9hension actuelle du probl\ue8me et \ue0 d\ue9terminer si celles-ci pouvaient \ueatre combl\ue9es par des solutions technologiques d?un int\ue9r\ueat particulier.The version provided does not contain the final revisions incorporated by the journal editor, the final version can be downloaded on the journal website.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
