Theoretical Framework

Evacuation routes are a system of signs or posters that were created to the moment when happened a catastrophe people know what make in front of that, there are many evacuation routes, the most known are:

·         Emergency exit

·         Stairs

·         Emergency kit

·         Meeting point

·         Push to exit

Evacuation routes were created to people be prepared in case of natural disasters like fire, landslides or earthquakes that now is the most common.

With the evacuation routes the population can be benefit because if something happen like the mentioned on the last paragraph , you can make an emergency exit or something like that, the idea of the evacuation routes is to be ready if happen a catastrophe.

Some of the catastrophes most common are:

Earthquakes:

An earthquake is the movement of the earth that happens when the elastic potential energy is very accumulated, this make that the earth move in a so hard way causing a tremor that is in development and that passed a minutes will become a earthquake. 

In easiest terms to understand,an earthquake is a hard movement of land caused by the energy that has during a determinate time.

Hypocenter or focus: Is the point in the land depth where is released the energy in an earthquake.

Epicenter: Is the point on the surface of the land on the hypocenter, when the intensity of the earthquake is higher.

Fire:

Fire is occurrence of uncontrolled fire can scorch everything in its path. This may affect the buildings and the living beings. Exposure to this disasters, can lead to serious great damage to the body until death either smoke inhalation or burns.

Landslides:

A landslide is a type of movement of the land mass, caused of instability in a slope. It’s produce when a big mass of land is converted in an unstable zone against a stable zone, through of a surface of little land.

There are cases in which there are families that live in zones that are in danger of a landslide that in the worst of the cases if are not evacuated could bring the died to these people.

There are many types of landslides like:

·         Landslides of rocks

·         Landslides of land

·         Landslides of land in water
