Personal Evacuation Guidelines for Employees with Mobility, Auditory and Visual Disabilities
All members of the 91猫先生 community should understand their roles and responsibilities when responding to emergency situations. The 91猫先生 recognizes that individuals with mobility, auditory or visual disabilities may require assistance in emergency situations, especially with accessing alerts, evacuating, and sheltering.
The 91猫先生, therefore, asks all individuals who may need assistance in an emergency to self-identify to the 91猫先生. This means that students and employees of the 91猫先生 should contact the Office of Institutional Compliance and Title IX at elizabeth.garcia2@scranton.edu or diana.collinsgilmore@scranton.edu or by calling 570-941-6645.
The 91猫先生 shall work with self-identified individuals to develop a Personal Evacuation Plan that includes a means of communication in the event of an emergency and specific procedures for evacuation and sheltering.
The 91猫先生 will not assume that a student or employee requires a Personal Evacuation Plan.
Guidelines
The following information outlines procedures for alerting, evacuating or sheltering persons with disabilities located on The 91猫先生 campus grounds and buildings during an emergency. Persons with disabilities must take responsibility for their personal safety and have a Personal Evacuation Plan in place before an emergency occurs. In addition, during an actual emergency it is the student’s, faculty/staff member’s responsibility to contact emergency response personnel to activate their Personal Evacuation Plan.
All members of the 91猫先生 community also have a responsibility to facilitate the safe evacuation and sheltering of persons with disabilities by adhering to the following guidelines. While this policy applies to permanent disabilities, an evacuation plan may be appropriate in instances of temporary mobility, auditory or visual disabilities on a case-by-case basis
