Directions Mag have an article named 3D GIS in support of disaster management in urban areas. From the article: "This article introduces an 'intelligent' emergency evacuation system of complex buildings using 3D GIS and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, called an Intelligent Building Evacuation (IBE) System. [...] The purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential benefit of a navigable 3D GIS for improving the speed of emergency response. The benefit of the system based upon an integrated and navigable 3D network data model would be even greater when the real world scenario is worse than that conceived in this experiment."
