People with disabilities (impaired mobility, blind low vision) or who are deaf or hard of hearing and small children can have additional difficulty dealing with the effects of disaster. Special care must be provided to help them during a building evacuation and to care for their ongoing needs. LEARNING ACCOMMODATIONS CENTER: Students with disabilities who might need of assistance during an emergency evacuation should inform the CCRI's Security and College Police Department each semester and report any changes in their schedule and /or condition during the semester. Students are also requested to inform instructors. Although ABLE has a list of disabled students, the organization may not represent all students needing special assistance. THE CHILD CARE CENTERS THE DAY CARE CENTER TELEPHONE ARE: FLANAGAN CAMPUS 333-7247, KNIGHT CAMPUS 825-1152 AND PROVIDENCE CAMPUS 455-6005. (The Newport Campus has no day care center.) WHEN ELEVATORS ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE (POWER OUTAGE, FIRE, ETC) 1. Work with College police to check if anyone is trapped between floors. 2. Check bathrooms, classrooms, and hallways to ensure that no person with disabilities needs assistance to exit the building or get to a designated safe area. 3. College police will assist physically disabled persons during an emergency. They will be lead to the Designated Safe Areas to await Rescue personnel. In case of an extreme emergency (i.e. life threatening circumstances where rescue has been delayed) persons in wheelchairs on upper floors will need assistance down the stairs. ONLY in dire emergencies will College police or others be recruited to help the wheelchair down the stairs. Always turn the wheelchair so it is lowered down the stairs backwards (facing up the stairs) so the occupant is not at risk of slipping forward out of the chair. OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS: 1. In an emergency which causes damage of facilities, small children, visitors and people with disabilities may need to be lifted, carried or guided to negotiate around or over fallen debris. 2. Visually impaired and deaf and hard of hearing persons may require additional support to comprehend and follow emergency evacuation directives. 3. Be aware that small children may want to hide from the commotion of an emergency, therefore putting themselves at greater risk. During an evacuation with small children, form a chain by holding hands and do repeated head counts using a loud voice. 4. In the event of an emergency, an integrated plan will be implemented through our College police and Physical plant. The College police office has a list of individuals that have requested special assistance.
