Emergency evacuation is on everyone’s radar screen.  Safe evacuation requires preparation.  Emergency preparedness begins with the built environment.  Knowing how and where to include key elements in the built environment are the foundation to building an effective plan for the safe and effective evacuation of everyone from a building, disabled or not.  This program will provide critical information and tools to use as you plan, alter or newly construct so that all of these pieces will be in place.
