Garaventa Evacu-Trac CD7 Disaster Emergency Stair Evacuation Chair

Does your emergency evacuation plan include an evacuation chair for someone with a mobility-related disability? In the event of a fire or earthquake, elevators should not be used for the emergency evacuation of a building. In this situation, people with limited mobility may be trapped or have
to wait for a prolonged period of time in an area
of refuge.
Designed so that a small attendant can easily move a much larger passenger down the stairs, the Evacu-Trac is easily set up and ready for a passenger to transfer from their wheelchair to the comfortable sling seat. This evacuation chair has durable rubber tracks that firmly grip the stairs and the safety brake can stop the unit on the stairs if necessary. The Evacu-Trac is completely stable and self-supporting on flat surfaces and
during descent.

Evacuation Plan
Do you have an emergency evacuation plan that meets the needs of everyone?
During an emergency such as a fire or earthquake, the law states elevators cannot be used. This means that people with disabilities or anyone who cannot use the stairs may experience evacuation delays or may hinder stairwell evacuation flow.
An evacuation plan should include everyone, not just those who are able bodied. Understanding an evacuation plan is crucial. Regular practice drills are part of emergency plan and provide a means of evacuation for everyone, including people who can not use the stairs by themselves.
An example evacuation plan:
The U.S. Access Board is an independent Federal Agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities. This site outlines their emergency evacuation plan that accommodates persons with disabilities. Click here to go to the U.S. Access Board’s Evacuation Plan.
The Access Board has also provided some background information on how they designed their evacuation plan to meet the needs of their employees.
