PROVISION OF CONDITIONS FOR THE EVACUATION/RESCUE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Abstract
The equal use of buildings, regardless of different disabilities, is one of the basic human rights of modern society. The measures we use to make this possible are called universal accessibility. In the event of a fire or other disaster, evacuation from a building is usually based on the assumption that people will retreat by walking. The only exceptions are those buildings where people with mobility impairments permanently live; in these buildings, evacuation is ensured via horizontal evacuation, with organizational measures and so on. For other buildings, ensuring the conditions for universal accessibility and safe retreat for all people is a challenge for the designers, owners and users of the buildings. All residents should have the opportunity to escape from the facility on their own or with the help of others. The Inclusive Emergency project is also presented in this article; this Erasmus+ project has the aim of raising awareness and educating people about the preparation for and implementation of evacuation and rescue of people with various disabilities.
