Doing a FEMA course on workplace safety procedures. This bit's on evacuation. "Do NOT use elevators unless instructed to do so by emergency personnel." Uh, what do people in wheelchairs do?

In my former office building there was a sort of plastic sled/chair that could be slid down the stairs in a dire emergency.

In my current workplace, my boss (who uses a chair) is supposed to go to the glass-walled conference room, for maximum visibility I guess, and wait for firefighter assistance/escort. I am certain that someone would wait with her, just because of who works here, but it still sounds pretty tense.

Totally agree that this should be addressed in the standard training for everyone.
