Every year fires continue to claim scores of lives and with the increased threats against high-rise
buildings, people share a heightened sense of concern for their family and the safety of their loved
ones. Tenants, employers, owners and policy makers are searching for practical solutions to the
problem of entrapment in a tall building. The Safe Evacuation Coalition is an organization created
by innovators and producers of safe high-rise building evacuation devices. Our goal is to educate the
public on safe external evacuation devices and promote their acceptance throughout the world.
Whether it is a major fire or some other life-threatening event, new evacuation solutions have
become imperative. We provide these solutions along with the accompanying peace of mind. Just as
no one would venture out on a boat that has no life preservers, no one should enter a high-rise
building that has no external evacuation capability. In addition to avoiding entrapment, exiting a
building externally has multiple benefits: fresh air supply, visibility, speed of evacuation, and
distance from the danger; all in complete SAFETY!
The Coalition brings together the top products from the top engineers in the world, and all these
external evacuation devices must meet a stringent safety standard. Although quite different in
operation, all provide the same result; LIFE!
To explore the different evacuation systems and see which one may work best in your building, use
