Abstract
Evacuation planning is extremely important, as it seeks to ensure the safety of individuals involved in the egress from an area. There have been different approaches proposed in crowd control. In this paper, two strategies for placement of stewards are provided - using the Maximal Coverage Location Problem and Integer Programming. Results are provided for a test environment. It is hoped that through these methods, effective evacuation may be achieved.
