Knowledge and preparation by both persons with disabilities and
persons without disabilities is key to reducing the impact of
emergency disasters. When developing a plan, the safety needs of
persons with disabilities should be determined on a case-by-case
basis because they vary with each individual and building.
Employees and students with disabilities utilizing Western’s
campus are asked to take responsibility in developing their own
personal emergency evacuation plan. Western has established
specific guidelines including an evacuation plan template to
assist in the development of a plan (see link below). Campus
personnel and WWU’s Environmental Health and Safety will assist in
the development, communication and execution of plans.
