To be effective in the event of an emergency, university officials want to be able to identify and support those students, faculty, staff and visitors with a disability who would need assistance.
Those with a disability, even if they have not otherwise self-identified or asked for an accommodation, are asked to complete an Emergency Assistance Referral Form if they feel they would need assistance during an emergency.
Completed forms will be kept on file by the Office of Emergency Preparedness and will be used only to develop an emergency plan for individuals who want one.
The university’s emergency procedures for students, faculty, staff and visitors with disabilities and Emergency Assistance Referral Forms may be found at http://t.uga.edu/Uu.
