Abstract
An evacuation assistance locator, which includes a processor communicative with a memory device contained with a housing, is detachably mounted to a fixed structure, such as an office building, for receiving location information from non-ambulatory individuals to assist emergency personnel in quickly finding the non-ambulatory individuals location in the event of an emergency. The housing also includes a display screen and an input keypad so that the non-ambulatory individual can input their location and departure time information and so that only authorized emergency personnel can retrieve the location information by using a secret access code. A plurality of evacuation assistance locations can be linked to a central office for access by the appropriate personnel.
