Emergency response
In the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or fire, people with disabilities may be delayed in understanding the situation or may not be able to evacuate on their own, so check in advance what kind of response you need to take.
It is important to understand the types of people with disabilities who use facilities on a regular basis.Then, be prepared to respond appropriately to the problem in the event of an emergency.

Consider people with disabilities in evacuation drills
During regular evacuation drills, include users with disabilities and simulate how to guide them in evacuation.By anticipating all possible situations, you will be able to respond without panic in case of an emergency.
Installation of outdoor slope
In addition to emergency stairs, if you install an evacuation ramp, even wheelchair users can evacuate.
Introduction of flashing emergency lights
Hearing-impaired people cannot hear emergency sirens.Emergency lights with flashing lights can be used to communicate to the hearing-impaired that there is an emergency.

Utilization of wheelchairs available for rental within the facility
