1. Disasters By: Amanda Collier & justine Repman

2. The Station  This fire sparked on the night of 2/20/03.  A band was playing and they used pyrotechnics which caught the sound proofing materials on fire.  The building had no sprinkler system.

3. The Station  Many bodies were burned and can not be found or can not be identified.  All this changed the lives not only the people in the fire but the families as well.  Many people escaped but many others died and were severely injured.

4. suggestion  We would recommend a sprinkler system.  After watching a video of how a sprinkler system would have put out the fire or at least control it until fire fighters could get there.

5. Hurricane Katrina  Monday august 29,2005 Katrina struck the Louisiana coast.  But before it struck the coast the Louisiana residents had plenty of warning time to leave the state. Most left but some stayed.

6. Hurricane Katrina  When the hurricane was still developing it was close to the Bahamas and was heading straight for Miami. But the storm was still weak.  It passed over Miami and became stronger as it trudged over the gulf coast.  As it went over the gulf coast it built up speed and aggression. Hitting New Orleans strong causing some major damage.

7. Suggestion  Maybe there should be better evacuation routes or wider highways just for evacuation.

8. Coconut Grove  Within 5 minutes the whole basement of the Club was on fire.  Within another 5 minutes the first floor was on fire.  Many people died because the exit doors were bricked up or bolted shut, the only way out was the main entrance was a revolving door.

9. Suggestion  Installation of automatic sprinklers.  Prohibition use of the basement.  Requirement of defined aisle space between tables.  Exit doors have to be marked by illuminated “EXIT” signs.

10. Hurricane Andrew  When the hurricane started it started out as a tropical wave on the west coast of Africa.  It lasted from August 14 th – 23 rd.  It hit the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana.  It was a Category 4 hurricane.

11. Suggestion  Earlier evacuation and better ways to evacuate people.
