‘Does anyone know I am here?’

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

According to Mike Elkerton CEO of Access & Evac-U-8, this is the single biggest quote in consultations with disabled people when asked about evacuation plans in buildings they are visiting.

Emergency evacuation relies on two things; who needs evacuating and how they are evacuated.

Access & Evac-U-8 has created a smart phone ‘App’ (DirectMii/ Evacu8Me) that is simple to use and is claimed to revolutionise internal spacial orienteering and evacuations plans for disabled and non disabled people.

Many people view their phone as a communication security blanket, so it was natural to have internal floor plans, pictorial routes and evacuation instruction on the phone for all to access.
