Disability Services is available to provide assistance to students and visitors to campus with disabilities who feel that they may be experiencing discrimination or barriers to access. General campus emergency procedures are available from the Office of Public Safety. Evacuation Procedures for People with Disabilities People with disabilities should discuss their needs with Disability Services and faculty members and staff in places in the college that they frequent, such as classrooms, work study job locations, Peer Tutoring, etc. People with disabilities should plan in advance for emergencies by identifying primary and secondary evacuation routes to accessible exits. If you need evacuation assistance, take the following steps: Do NOT use the elevator. If youâre in a class or college office, call Public Safety at (413) 775-1111, or notify the faculty or staff member that they need to alert Public Safety of your location. If youâre not in a class or office, find the nearest employee (faculty or staff) and tell them that same information. You should NOT stay in the classroom or office UNLESS there is fire or smoke in the hallway and the room has no smoke or fire. If it is safe to stay in your current location and you are unable to safely exit the building, then you should shelter in place. Public Safety and/or responding local emergency personnel will conduct a âroom to roomâ search to ensure that everyone has evacuated the building. If you cannot notify anyone on your floor that you need help, listen for rescue personnel who will be searching the building and be prepared to make noise to help responders find your location. Once alerted, Public Safety will take the appropriate actions to assist in your evacuation, or will notify those trained to evacuate individuals in need of special assistance, who will ensure your safe exit.
