This session will highlight the coordination of a life safety evaluation and Special Event Emergency Operations Plan. The session will include specific examples from a case study for an existing baseball stadium. Based on NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, and NFPA 1, Fire Code, for assembly occupancies, the discussion of the life safety evaluation will include risk analysis, travel distances, occupant load calculations, and required egress capacity. The session will also focus on the importance of a structured approach to managing an emergency response during a special event developed specifically for the baseball stadium.
