What does EVAC stand for in emergency alarm systems?

• A. Emergency Voice Alarm Communication
• B. Emergency Video Alert Control
• C. External Voice Announcement Console
• D. Emergency Ventilation And Cooling

Answer: (A)

In emergency alarm systems, EVAC stands for Emergency Voice Alarm Communication. This refers to the voice messaging portion that delivers spoken instructions to occupants during an emergency, helping guide everyone to exits and keep order as they evacuate. It goes beyond just sounding alarms by providing clear, directed guidance.

The other phrases don’t match the standard meaning of EVAC. They describe different ideas—video alerts, a console for announcing messages, or unrelated system functions like ventilation and cooling—that aren’t the recognized acronym for the evacuation voice system.
