In the industrial sector, companies need large campuses with mostly indoor and outdoor areas for production, storage, distribution and administration activities. In case of possible emergencies or disasters, to avoid employee losses and injuries or to minimize these undesirable situations, emergency assembly areas should be established in such campuses in accordance with legal obligations and exercises should be held at least once a year. Traditionally, the number of employees in disaster exercises is controlled through lists by the responsible persons at the assembly points, but in cases where the number of employees is high, it becomes necessary to make the counts automatically with the use of technological tools. When the practices in the field are examined, it is seen that the time used for employee counting is higher than the values determined by international standards and that insufficient or excessive number of employees are reported because they are not in the assembly area that should be included in the censuses. In terms of companies, the long counting time or the number of employees who cannot be reached in the count are considered as serious problems. In this study, the number of emergency assembly zones was optimized with a fuzzy logic-based method that allows employees to participate in the count by going to the nearest emergency assembly area in emergency and disaster drills. In this way, the time used for counting was reduced by 25%. In addition, a noticeable reduction was achieved in false notifications.
