Tip Sheets For First Responders For People With Disabilities

The Disability Preparedness Vector Wheel
Includes instructions for individuals to “prepare” or “respond” to emergencies including: fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, terrorism, severe weather, tornadoes, and hazardous materials. There are areas where the individual may write in their personal information for medical conditions, allergies, and medications; emergency contact numbers for family and physicians; fire and police department phone numbers; and other critical contact numbers a person may need during an emergency situation.
Tips for preparedness and response are geared towards a person with a disability or special need. Instructions are written in easy to understand language and a large font to help the user learn how they can become better prepared. http://www.nod.org/emergency
