1. A computer-implemented method for managing building pathway information, comprising:
detecting, by a building and/or security management system and based on receiving input from multiple sensor devices, a possible safety issue related to function of a first safety equipment device in a first pathway to an egress of a building;
determining, by the building and/or security management system and based on detecting the possible safety issue and based on information regarding other pathways in the building, a second pathway to the egress, or a different egress, of the building, wherein determining the second pathway to the egress or the different egress is based on determining, by the building and/or security management system, that the second pathway has a second safety equipment device without the possible safety issue; and
indicating at least the second pathway to another system.
