More than 56 million Americans—19 percent of the population—live with some form of disability. Of those who self-report a disability, half say they have trouble walking and climbing stairs. Either issue could make it difficult to evacuate in an emergency. People with mobility disabilities can take the following steps to prepare for an emergency evacuation:
Form a personal support network of family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who can help you create communication and transportation plans in case of an evacuation Assess your evacuation needs and capabilities. Pre-identify two escape routes out of every room and two evacuation routes from home and work.
Contact your local fire department and emergency management office to self-identify as someone who needs transportation assistance in an evacuation.
