Persons with Disabilities

If you have a condition which you believe might limit your ability to safely evacuate during a fire alarm, we invite you to prepare for emergencies by speaking with a Fire Prevention Officer. Call us at 514-398-3473 or email us at fireprevention [at] mcgill.ca .

We also encourage you to register with the Service de sécurité incendie de Montréal (SIM), Montreal's Fire Department, which oversees an Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program.

Get Acknowledged, Receive Help

Icons on left organized into 4 rows besides text listing steps to getting acknowledged and receiving help: first make yourself visible. Second: have someone acknowledge your presence. Third: ask help from friends, professors, co-workers, class mates - any occupant. Fourth: ask those helping you to notify the fire department of your location and condition.

Some Disabilities are Invisible

Anyone facing a disability - whether life-long or temporary, physical, invisible or otherwise - may need assistance evacuating. If you know persons with disabilities, ask them how you can help them. During an emergency, inform the Fire Department as quickly as possible of the location and condition of someone who might have difficulty evacuating.
