DGT (Traffic Department)
unveils its guide for caring
for people
with disabilities,
emergencies and accidents
Dirección General de Tráfico (the Spanish
Traffic Department, DGT), published a guide
for caring for people with disabilities in the
event of emergencies and accidents in order
to provide comprehensive idea of the most
common characteristics and aspects in
relation with people with disabilities and on
how to collaborate and help in the event
of an emergency (traffic accident, fire,
confinement, etc.).
The response of those who first come to
the rescue in an emergency will be more
rigorous, safer and efficient if one is aware of
the difficulties of people with disabilities and
how to address them.

mental disability, autism or autism-spectrum
disorders, visual and hearing impairment,
and disability due to mental illness,

and in an emergency situation.
