Emergency Evacuation for Persons with Disabilities

For the purposes of these evacuation procedures, individuals should be considered as having disabilities if they are unable to evacuate the building without assistance, or if their time to exit the building would be much greater than the average building occupant.  Under this policy, any situation in which building occupants are evacuated from a building will be considered an "emergency" situation for individuals with disabilities.  Any situation in which an individual with a disability can communicate that a clear and present danger exists will be considered an "emergency" under this policy.
