In response to some inquiries from our readers requesting information regarding the topic of disability and other special needs preparedness, our staff would like to recommend a document to add to your library of personal preparedness reading entitled, “Preparing for Disaster for People with Disabilities and other Special Needs”. 

This document was organized in a joint effort between the American Red Cross and the Department of Homeland Security’s FEMA division and can be downloaded and read by clicking here. 

Although this document has been offered for some time to the public, we believe that so much of its content remains relevant and still one of the better organized documents suiting this matter, therefore, it remains of real value and  importance for someone or some family just beginning the journey of preparedness in the event of facing a sudden disaster or emergency event.

If some of our readers have other suggestions or comments on this document or perhaps can offer other information resources regarding this important topic, please share them with our readership.
