Transformus is committed to the principle of Radical Inclusion. We
believe that opportunities for transformative experience should be
available to all, including those with disabilities. The terrain of our
venue and the "outdoor living" nature of our event may be challenging,
but we welcome those with temporary or permanent disabilities to
participate in our event. As possible, special considerations or
arrangements can be made to accomodate the specific needs of those with
disabilities or medical conditions. If you have any questions or would
like to discuss any special needs you may have, please do not hesitate
to contact our special Disabled Burners Liason, WordPlay.
Notification & Considerations for Medical Conditions
Informing
our Disabilities Liason and/or the EMS Team Lead, of any specific
medical conditions or severe allergies you may have will better assist
& prepare our EMS volunteers should an emergency arise. Bees and
yellowjackets do make their home at Deerfields, so do bring an epi-pen
if you have severe allergic reactions to such stings. Do remember to
bring any necessary medications with you. Basic first aid will be
available, but in the event of a serious emergency an ambulance will be
called to transport you to the nearest medical facility.
Should you require your vehicle to power a Sleep Apnea or other medical
device please inform the DB Liason and/or your Parking Badger to so
that we may recommend a camping neighborhood which will accomodate your
vehicle. Due to the fire content featured at our festival, please
notify us if you require personal oxygen and will be bringing oxygen
tanks with you. We will recommend the safest camping neighborhood and
instruct you in areas to avoid for safety concerns.
Restroom Facilities
ADA approved Portable Restrooms will be
provided at the event in several locations. Please inquire with the DB
Liason, your Parking Badger or the Information Booth regarding their
placement and the most convenient camping neighborhoods or locations to
access them. If you are camping with a theme camp, please ask your
theme camp organizer to relate your need to our Theme Camp Coordinator
before the event and we will request placement of a handicapped
accesible unit in your neighborhood portajohn cluster.
Personal Mobility Vehicles
PMVs such as scooters, segways, and
similar are permissible for persons with temporary or permanent
disabilities. Please inform Wordplay if you will be bringing a PMV and
he will inform the DMA for you. You will be issued a DMA (Division of
Mobile Art) special permit to display on your vehicle. In keeping with
the artistic spirit of the event, we do encourage you to decorate your
PMV at least temporarily for the duration of the event.
Mysteria Transit System
Occasionally someone will be making
rounds around the city in the mule, usually in response to equipment
and staff transportion needs. If no emergencies exist and space allows,
feel free to ask for a lift. Disabled burners may also put in a request
with radio-enabled volunteers for transportation assistance, but you
may have to wait patiently for pick-up. Be aware the mule may not
always be available and its drivers may keep irregular hours.
