Evacuating differently-abled, elderly people, or pregnant women from apartments to safety, in case of any emergency such as fire, bomb threat, earthquake, etc., is the biggest challenge, as the lifts are generally grounded in such scenarios. During a fire, the critical time to evacuate the people at floor level is 2.5 minutes since the fire and smoke can engulf the entire floor. The evacuation chair is a comfortable chair that moves effortlessly on wheels over flat surfaces and simply glides down the staircase. The evacuation/rescue chair is a single-operator model that can be easily operated by just one person.
