Emergency & Disaster Response Guide

Instructions for those with Disabilities

If you have a disability that could impair your ability to evacuate safely or delay your response, please...

BEFORE AN EMERGENCY:

  1. Inform Public Safety of your circumstances and request a brief meeting to discuss any special emergency response accommodations needed (remember elevators may not be working).
  2. Find two or three "buddies" who are willing to help you in the event of an emergency.
  3. Develop two escape plans: one assuming help is available and one assuming it is not.

DURING AN EMERGENCY:

  1. If needed, call on one or two of your buddies to help.
  2. If buddies are not available, call Public Safety (453-DPS1 (3771)) and tell them where you are and what is needed.
