Personal Evacuation Guidelines for Employees with Mobility, Auditory and Visual Disabilities

All members of the University community should understand their roles and responsibilities when responding to emergency situations. The University recognizes that individuals with mobility, auditory or visual disabilities may require assistance in emergency situations, especially with accessing alerts, evacuating, and sheltering.

The University, therefore, asks all individuals who may need assistance in an emergency to self-identify to the University. This means that students and employees of the University should contact the Office of Equity and Diversity elizabeth.garcia2@scranton.edu or diana.collinsgilmore@scranton.edu  or by calling 570-941-6645.

The University 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 University 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 糖心短视频app 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 University 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
