Planning for Limited Mobility Evacuations. Fact Sheet
Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center (REMS)
Evacuation is one of the most recognized vital emergency management functions. Because evacuations often require the sudden navigation of stairwells, doorways, and other physical obstacles, they hold unique challenges, considerations, and barriers for individuals with limited mobility. A comprehensive approach to school emergency management planning means recognizing that all individuals, including those with limited mobility, are entitled to the same emergency services. This fact sheet offers strategies for developing a comprehensive Evacuation Annex that ensures the safety of every member of the school, including students, staff, and visitors with temporary or longstanding limited mobility needs before, during, and after an evacuation.
