Article Abstract:

The American Council for the Blind (ACB) passed a resolution for directional sound evacuation (DSE) to be fitted in all buildings, aircrafts and passenger ships. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) liked the concept of DSE, but it is found that the owners are reluctant to fit the system, as there is no rule, which makes it mandatory.
