determine one or more environmental conditions adverse to one or more occupants within a structure at least partially enclosing a ventilation system and one or more passageways therein;
predict movement patterns of the one or more adverse environmental conditions within at least a portion of the structure;
create, at least partially subject to the predicting, one or more evacuation routes including at least a first portion of the one or more passageways; and
