Brushed Aluminum Area Of Refuge ADA Sign with Tactile Wheelchair Symbol, Text and Braille - 6" x 9"

Staging Areas and Areas of Refuge
In emergency situations, persons with disabilities who cannot use the stairwells to exit a building can be protected in refuge areas and staging areas where they can wait for evacuation assistance. A staging area is an unprotected space located by elevator lobbies for disabled individuals to await firefighters or police officers to safely evacuate them. When conditions become extreme and it is safer to stay inside the building, occupants and visitors should gather at the "Area of Refuge," an enclosed space protected from heat and smoke. Each area of refuge should be identified by a tactile sign with Braille. Each area of refuge must be equipped with a two-way communication system to call for assistance. These devices should be labeled properly with tactile Braille signs and used for emergencies only.
