Being prepared for a disaster is the responsible thing to do both personally and professionally. Disasters create business and personal risks... especially for those with special needs and/or functional limitations.
Over the years of promoting preparedness and urging communities and individuals to collect supplies in advance of an event, I've come across several checklists to provide guidance with the process. But at a recent senior fair, I found a visual checklist and thought this would be important for some individuals - beyond those who are unable to read.
Whether you follow a written or visual checklist, collect and prepare supplies you will need if something happens and you will need to be on your own for a while. This means:
- no grocery
- no pharmacy
- no hospital/doctors
- no or limited utilities
- no gasoline/transportation
What is most important to you? What do you need if you are at home... or on the road?
