Evacuation of the Disabled
Information on general emergency procedures can be found on the
Emergency Procedures page.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION ASSISTANCE (PERSON'S WITH DISABILITIES)
Assist others in need of assistance (persons with
disabilities: mobility, hearing, sight, respiratory conditions, other)
during an evacuation.
Person's with disabilities (and others whose movement may be impaired,
e.g. broken leg, etc.) should pre-arrange with someone in their immediate
area to assist them, e.g. classmate or instructor. In the event that person
is not present, anyone in the immediate area should:
Ensure the person with a disability is directed or assisted to a safe area,
evacuation point, stairwell or another building. Consult the person about
their specific limitation and the best way to provide assistance.
Emergency personnel should be informed of the location of the person needing
assistance.
Evacu-Trac chairs are available in multiple level buildings. Their locations are
discussed further in this page. These manual evacuation chairs should be used
when the person can effectively transfer into the chair and other person(s) are
available to maneuver the chair downstairs. The Evacu-Trac should only be used
if conditions warrant inability to wait for emergency personnel to arrive/assist.
If you would like more information on how the Evacu-Trac works, please visit the
Garaventa website.

located on the wall in a box (a picture is provided at the top of this page) or
leaning up against the wall.
