Educators

Because we never know when a disaster may strike, everyone must be prepared at all times. Educational institutions must develop accessible emergency evacuation plans so that all students, faculty and staff are able to be safe in emergencies. You will find a number of accessible evacuation plans developed by colleges and universities in our State Level section.
