Disaster R and R Plan : Blindness or Visual Impairment

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 4 months ago

Blindness or Visual Impairment• Give verbal instructions to advise about the safest route or direction using compass directions, estimated distances, and directional terms.

 

• DO NOT grasp a visually impaired person’s arm. Ask if he or she would like to hold onto your arm as you exit, especially if there is debris or other people evacuating.

 

• Give other verbal instructions or information (i.e., elevators cannot be used.)

 

MOBILITY IMPAIRMENT

 

• It may be necessary to help clear the exit route of debris (if possible) so that the person with a disability can evacuate or move to a safe area.

 

• If people with mobility impairments cannot exit, they should move to a safer area which includes most enclosed stairwells or an office (with a door that shuts) which is a good distance from the hazard and which is away from falling debris.
