Evacuation Guidelines for People with Disabilities

• a. General Policy (reference Appendix 1,
  Emergency Procedures Handbook for specific
  information that may be useful in developing your
  specific policy/procedures for your building).
  At this time there are no specific
  policy/procedures other than those in the
  Emergency Procedures Handbook, which are given
  here
• b. Check on people with special needs during an
  evacuation. A buddy system, where people with
  disabilities arrange for volunteers (co-workers)
  to alert and assist them in an emergency is
  recommended.
• c. Only attempt an emergency evacuation if you
  have had emergency assistance training or the
  person is in immediate danger and cannot wait for
  emergency services personnel.
• d. Always ask someone with a disability how you
  can help before attempting any emergency
  evacuation assistance. Ask how he or she can
  best be assisted or moved, and whether there are
  any special considerations or items that need to
  come with the person.
• e. Any staff and faculty who are mobility
  impaired or have any other special need and wish
  to be identified in the names/locations table
  here, contact any one of the people responsible
  for this Building Emergency Plan.
