The ADA National Network is pleased to announce the next session in the “Emergency Management and Preparedness-Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities Webinar Series.”
Produced by the Pacific ADA Center and supported by the Great Lakes ADA Center.
When emergencies strike and people in high rise structures are involved, organized evacuation of the building is necessary. People with disabilities are often thought to be hindrances to this organized evacuation or, worse, are afterthoughts in the evacuation process – putting them at greater risk. This session will include representatives from building code, evacuation chair development, and fire agencies to discuss how planning, building codes, and evacuation chairs and other technologies are being used to improve the evacuation of people with disabilities from high rise buildings.
Date: April 10, 2013
Title: High Rise Evacuation for People with Disabilities
Time: 2pm ET/1pm CT/12pm MT/11am PT/8am Hawaii
Presenters:
These 90 minute webinars are delivered using the Blackboard Collaborate Web Conferencing System V11 and all sessions will be closed captioned.
The previous sessions in this free series addressed the Federal Response to Emergencies and the State, Local and Community Response to Emergencies.
The previous sessions were recorded and can be reviewed at: www.adaconferences.org/Emergency/Archives
