Evacuation Carrier - Leave No One Behind - Save Lives

Every year, mobility-impaired individuals are severely injured or die in events where others have been safely evacuated. In cases when a disabled person is reached, often they remained trapped by a deactivated elevator or too often overcome by smoke inhalation resulting in death, expensive hospital stays, or lifelong permanent complications. The comfort carrier is an effective, easy to use, and rugged lifesaving device. The emergency Comfort Carriers are an indispensable part of any emergency evacuation plan. Saving lives places this device in a "must have" category.
