460 IAC 10-1-6 "Evacuation capability" defined

Sec. 6. "Evacuation capability" means the ability of the occupants, residents, and staff as a group, to evacuate the building. Evacuation capability is classified as follows: (1) Prompt evacuation capability is equivalent to the capability of the general population when applying the requirements of this article. (2) Slow evacuation capability is the capability of the group to evacuate the building in a timely manner, with some of the residents requiring assistance from the staff. (3) Impractical evacuation capability occurs when the group, even with staff assistance, cannot reliably evacuate the building in a timely manner. The evacuation capability of the residents and staff is a function of both the ability of the residents to evacuate and the assistance provided by the staff. Evacuation capability in all cases is based on the time of day or night when evacuation would be most difficult, i.e., sleeping residents or fewer staff present.
