Subject: The structural feasibility of vertical evacuation using multistorey structures in a hurricane is analysed. The risks of death or injury associated with several mitigative options are discussed and methods for calculating or estimating the associated risks are presented. Criteria for feasibility determination are presented and applied to the identified mitigative options. The methodology is applied to determine the feasibility of vertical evacuation at a specific location, and for a given class of structures using data currently available
