Planning and preparation are the keys to being as safe as possible in an emergency. UC Berkeley is committed to the safety of all of its students, staff, faculty and visitors with and without disabilities.</span><span>This section provides information on the campus-wide emergency preparedness features and procedures, as well as building-specific plans as they pertain to disabled people and those with Access and Functional Needs (AFN) .</span></p> <h2>Building Specific Data</h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>Each <a href="https://dac.berkeley.edu/navigating-cal/campus-buildings">building’s page</a> includes information of that building’s most important safety features. Specifically, you can find the location of evacuation wheelchairs and Designated Waiting Areas on each building’s directory. </span></p> <h2><span>Individual Evacuation Planning <br></span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span><span>Students enrolled in the </span><a href="https://dsp.berkeley.edu/" rel="noreferrer"><span>Disabled Students’ Program</span></a><span> may request an individualized assessment of their emergency preparedness needs for times when they are in class or on campus. Students should contact their assigned Disability Specialist to start that process, or can make a request via our <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1w9P9WSl0MH_LxrC5IgfWn1eA4faDzWaeDJ1pbMjAHtM/viewform?ts=66b25a51&edit_requested=true" rel="noreferrer">Self-Identification Survey form</a>.</span></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><span>Employees who may need assistance during emergency evacuations can use the same form to request individualized consultations as well. </span></span></p> <ul> <li> <p dir="ltr">Personalized Consultations: Consultations are an opportunity for individuals to discuss their specific needs in the event of an emergency evacuation, including making a list for a go-bag, downloading ‘text 911’ and ‘Warn Me’ on phones, and taking other important preparatory steps.

DAC, with consultation from Fire, Facilities and others, created these. This year Facilities hired a company that is manufacturing and installing the signage in core campus buildings. </span></p> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span>Evacuation Chairs</span><span>: We want to ensure there are evacuation chairs in all campus buildings. DAC has secured grant money in the past to provide these, and while we have no funds currently, we can help building managers or others pick chair(s) to buy if they don’t have them already. If a student during consultation with us requests a chair adjacent to their room, we will notified appropriate persons so that can be provided.</span></p> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1w9P9WSl0MH_LxrC5IgfWn1eA4faDzWaeDJ1pbMjAHtM/viewform?ts=66b25a51&edit_requested=true" rel="noreferrer"><span>Self Identification Survey For People with Access and Functional Needs, including Disabled People</span></a>: We disseminate this survey annually, and housing embeds a link to it in their communications to resident students. Developed together with disabled students, staff and faculty, the survey provides crucial information that helps first responders, building managers, EHS, OEM and DAC better understand where on campus people with access and functional needs, including disabled people live, work and learn, and how to evacuate them safely. The survey can also be used to request an individualized evacuation consultation. </span></p> </li> <li> <p dir="ltr"><span>Drills</span><span>: We are available to help include evacuation chair usage in emergency evacuation drills.
