Perfect for Earthquake Emergency Planning

Do I need design skills to create an evacuation map?

No design skills are required. Our AI understands hand-drawn floor plans, smartphone photos, scanned blueprints, and PDF documents. Simply upload any representation of your facility layout and receive a professional-grade emergency evacuation map instantly.

Are the generated maps OSHA-aligned?

OSHAMap is designed to help users organize key evacuation-planning information commonly associated with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.38 — clearly marked exit routes, fire extinguisher locations within 75-foot travel distance, assembly points, YOU ARE HERE markers, and accessibility accommodations per ADA guidelines. Each draft must be reviewed and verified for the actual workplace by the employer, safety officer, or AHJ before posting.

Can I update my evacuation map after renovations?

Yes. If you renovate your office or add an emergency exit, re-upload the updated floor plan and create a new draft for review. Free accounts include up to 5 regenerations per upload; verify each revision against the workplace before posting.

What types of buildings can use this evacuation map generator?

Our generator works for any building type including warehouses, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, schools, retail stores, and office buildings.
