Virtual reality for fire awareness

US Fire Administration, FEMA and META, launch virtual reality experience tool to promote fire safety awareness. The free tool lets users with VR equipment or using a desktop version practice fire escape skills and create a fire escape plan at home, at work, in public buildings, anywhere with internet connectivity. META say “While the Escape Plan is a virtual experience, the impact will be real”. This VR tool “The Escape Plan” adds to existing FEMA (US Federal Emergency Management Agency) digital tools including an online form to help develop escape plans and a mobile app.
