Evacuation Assistance
Digital Media Toolkit | Bring Down Barriers
- Some people with disabilities cannot evacuate on their own because of medical or special transportation needs. Help is available in some places for people who need it in an evacuation. Learn more about evacuation assistance where you live. #BringDownBarriers #PrepYourHealth
- Being prepared includes performing a self-assessment, being honest about your limitations, and—if necessary —giving yourself more time to evacuate before an emergency. If you are unable to evacuate on your own because of medical or special transportation needs, evacuation assistance is available in some places. Contact your local fire department or emergency management office to learn more about evacuation assistance where you live. #BringDownBarriers #PrepYourHealth
