Credible Evacuation

A credible evacuation scenario is one with a high likelihood that within 45 minutes of the evacuation being initiated there is no person in a building inside Protected Works Class B distance and no person in the open inside Protected Works Class A distance. (Note that 45 minutes is the worst case – the target evacuation timeframe is 30 minutes.) Whether evacuation is credible can only be assessed on a site-specific basis. Refer Appendix D.
