Other / Emergency evacuation
Swedish term or phrase: Situationsplan
This word is part of a detailed sign giving instructions for what to do in case of a fire.

The instructions are given and then the word...

SITUATIONSPLAN

Followed by a list of fire emergency equipment like blankets, extinguisers, first aid etc...

I am tempted to use the phrase "location map", but if someone has seen such a sign before, perhaps you will recall exactly what was on it.

Thanks.

Fire Plan


Explanation:
I think this has more to do with the layout of the facility in general than with mapping of escape routes as such. True, for this purpose, the escape routes and emergency exits will be marked, however other crucial info for a fire emergency will also be indicated, like fire extinguishers, ventilation hatches / fire dampeners, ventilation fan controls, locations of toxic substances, locations of fireman's equipment, sprinkler / CO2 systems, etc.

emergency evacuation map


Explanation:
Or fire evacuation map (or plan) - I think that as long as it it's obvious what it is and it serves its purpose there is no single correct answer.
