PSA: Assess Your Needs

The keys to effective disaster preparedness - to make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed - apply to all of us, but people with access and functional needs or disabilities, should approach preparedness planning with additional considerations.
It is important to create a support network now, checking with those who can help you, if needed.
Identify where you would go if you need to evacuate, either to a family member’s or friend’s home, a shelter, or hotel. If you have a pet, make sure they are allowed to go with you.
Plan ahead for any transportation you may need and let your support network know about your emergency supplies. You may want to give one member a key to your house or apartment.
Remember, your safety and your family’s safety are very important to us, so please plan ahead and stay safe!
