Consider your options and the risks of injuring yourself and others in an evacuation attempt. Do not make an emergency situation worse.
Evacuation is difficult and uncomfortable for both the rescuers and people being assisted.
Some people have conditions that can be aggrevated or triggered if they are moved incorrectly. The following guidelines are general and may not apply in every circumstance. Occupants should be invited to volunteer ahead of time to assist disabled people in an emergency. If volunteers are not available, designate someone to assist who is willing to accept the responsibility. Two or more trained volunteers, if available, should conduct the evacuation.
