Emergency Evacuation for students with SEN
In an educational environment, making sure students' safety during a building emergency, including evacuation considering the special needs of individuals with disabilities, is essential and important. With the support and valuable input from the Hong Kong PHAB Association, this set of training materials is developed, aiming at helping students with disabilities, departmental safety officers of the University, administrators and everyone in the campus community look at some of the important areas related to the ability of a student with SEN to safely evacuate a building on campus at an emergency.
It is worth mentioning that accessibility is considered in the production of the training materials. Special thanks to the efforts made by SLCO Community Resources to develop the bilingual captioning and Hong Kong Sign Language interpretation to make our training materials more inclusive and reachable to non-Cantonese speaking audience.
Please spare some time, at your own pace, to view training videos by topics. For more details on the Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) for eligible students with SEN, and the Evacuation Information for Assisting Students with Disabilities, please visit this page.
