| contents | The risk of loss of lives and property damage has increased all around the world in recent years as wildfire seasons have become longer and fires have become larger. Knowing how to prepare and evacuate safely is critical, yet it may be daunting for those who have never experienced a wildfire threat before. This paper considers the potential for utilizing virtual reality (VR) technology to prepare people for an evacuation scenario. We discuss the unique affordances of VR for this type of work, as well as the initial steps in creating a training simulation. We also explore the next steps for what a tool like this may mean for the future of evacuation preparedness training. |
