Imagine you are in a big building that you are only vaguely familiar with. Suddenly an alarm goes off. You know that you should leave the building, but you don't know what happened. As many as 52% of the people will seek information during an alarm event. Now imagine on computers, walls, cell phones, PDAs you get a graphical message that there is a fire inside the building and almost all staircases are filled with smoke, but one staircase is still available for exiting. That information would help you to understand what happened and based on that, make a better decision on where to go or what to do.

520 $a A lot of research has been done to improve safety in the built environment. Disaster preparedness plans have been developed for a variety of situations, but often emergency responders receive better, up to date information than the occupants of a building. This research discusses Informative Warning Systems (IWS) as a means to present information about ongoing emergencies inside buildings to their occupants. The main focus is on the delivery of the information. Literature search, survey, and interview instruments were used to determine the precise type of information that needs to be included. Design theories and interviews were used to determine how the graphical representation of a prototypical IWS should look. Alongside the research, a internet-based prototype IWS was developed based on a GIS database, a map generator, and an http server. The study results include a tool to optimize the graphical representation of an IWS, as well as evaluations of the prototype that show the information elements needed for a potential IWS at Arizona State University's Hayden library. An overwhelming majority of the surveyed (91.4%) indicated that they would change their actions if they saw an appropriate warning message like the one generated by the prototype IWS.
