Abstract

Following the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, several large studies were undertaken to look at the evacuation. The studies began from 18 months to 4 years after the event, and although there were similarities in the data sets collected in these studies, each set out to answer or contribute to a somewhat different purpose—investigation into the collapse of the towers, emergency preparedness in the workplace, and enhancements in the computer simulation of the evacuation of high-rise buildings. The studies used a variety of data collection techniques. This paper briefly describes the studies, their study populations, summary findings and long-term impacts.

One woman who participated in the CDC/Columbia study told the author that she was willing to volunteer for any research project related to the incident, in the hope that she could help make something positive come out of the events of the day. She was also extensively interviewed in the media.
