TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Synthesis 90: Incorporating ADA and Functional Needs in Emergency Exercises explores how airports include persons with disabilities and others with access or functional needs (DAFN) into emergency exercises. Because not all functional needs are visually or readily apparent, airports find that including these community members in DAFN on emergency exercises improves the safety of passengers, airport visitors, and employees at airports. The report describes effective practices and provides additional resources and tools in the following report appendices:

Appendix A: Script for Interviews
Appendix B: Participants
Appendix C: DAFN-Inclusive Exercise Scenario from MSP
Appendix D: Sample DAFN-Inclusive Training Materials from LAX
Appendix E: ADA-Inclusive Exercise Worksheet from JAX
Appendix F: List of Resource Groups to Involve in DAFN-Inclusive Emergency Planning and Exercises
Appendix G: Checklist for Integrating the DAFN Community in Emergency Exercises
