Consider watching Papal events at one of the public viewing screens located throughout the city. • WMOF Volunteers and Pennsylvania National Guardsman will be stationed throughout center city Philadelphia to answer questions and assist guests with gaining access to Papal venues. • Individuals seeking assistance with locating a lost or separated companion are directed to contact a reunification official at one of the “Medical Aid Stations” annotated on this map. Guests must be prepared to provide a detailed description of the individual that they are attempting to locate. Prior to attending a Papal event, it is suggested that guests use their mobile device to take a photograph of their traveling companions in order to aid reunification efforts. Rev. 08/31/15
