Worst Case Scenarios: Introduction

worst case(Update 23.12.2022: renewed structure) This chapter is an introduction for the creation of various worst case scenarios, their prevention and handling.

The results of each scenario naturally link to two different applications:

  • structural measures of the habitat (to be considered during planning and construction of the habitat)
  • emergency procedures (to be considered before accommodation)

This chapter is an introduction and covers the following sections:

  • Coverage
  • Combinations of Multiple Emergencies
  • Deactivation of Overwrite Rule
  • Levels of Emergenvies
  • Structure of a Worst Case Scenario
  • List of Proposed Scenarios

Our extensive analysis and proposals are part of the design manual.
