Abstract
This paper presents a simulation that models the satisfactory evacuation index of elderly people in case a building structure is affected by an earthquake. The simulation considers some parameters like earthquake magnitude, Body Mass Index (BMI), person location inside the building, and current evacuation routes. To determine if a person inside the building could or not go out of it, the simulation uses a dataset of people age, genre and location in the building, also, it defines two scenarios, the first where people are located only in the base floor infrastructure, and the second, where people are spread out through various floors of the building.
