Essays are very brief topical reviews and editorial opinions that deal with a particular area of concern. Content in these are linked with hypertext to relevant basic principles.

At present there is only one essay available: Why people don't respond to fire alarms.

The Web is rapidly becoming the place where people first look for information. The "essay" feature of the web site has great potential. It can provide valuable information that is otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain. We are looking for sponsors to underwrite essays covering several additional topics. Here is a list of some potential topics.

• The improving human performance and reliability can prevent fire casualties
• User-centered fire safety design
• Behavioral insights that improve public fire safety education
• Incorporating human behavior into performance-based codes
• Types and causes of human error during fire emergencies
• For building managers: How to write fire emergency plans
• For fire prevention officers and owners: How to evaluate fire emergency plans

Would your company or association be interested in sponsorship one of these essay?
