Disabled Persons and Evacuations
• Each unit head should discover “safe areas” in their unit and designate a disable person emergency assembly point to be used by disabled persons if they cannot evacuate.
• Disabled patrons should be encouraged to make their needs known to public service staff. Disabled staff members are encouraged to develop a pre-evacuation plan, perhaps using a “buddy” system.
During an evacuation, staff may choose to assist disabled persons, but are not required to do so.
