The aim of the paper is to propose guidelines for a general virtual reality based framework for training people how to behave and evacuate in business buildings during disastrous events. Disaster is a chain of dangerous events or exposure to hazardous conditions, which could lead to harmful damages to people with an eventual loss of life or property. Such risk conditions can be managed by planning well ahead before disasters occur and by performing suitable training to avoid critical disaster consequences. The paper attempts to solve some issues in the development of training mechanism for disaster risk management and emergency preparedness in unexpected evacuation of business buildings, which as a rule are densely packed with many employees. Although there are many recorded and well described disaster events, the paper focuses especially on earthquakes, fires and flooding that could severely damage the construction of business buildings. The paper investigates the possible and feasible application of the Virtual Reality technology to identify and assess the possible damages in such buildings for disaster risk management and to stimulate employees? situation awareness how to efficiently and safely react to harmful events. Virtual Reality is a simulated experience in a 3D computer generated environment that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. In such an environment, people can be trained to act according to a given situation and its possible variations.
