A major flood swept through Cathy’s town, resulting in 4,000 homes and businesses being destroyed, unclean public water, limited access to local food, and displaced individuals with developmental disabilities.
Zac’s family had to evacuate much longer than expected when Hurricane Katrina hit. Having Zac’s medical information in print and electronic format and extra medical supplies helps ensure Zac gets consistent care in an evacuation.
Without notice, a wildfire can force families out of their homes, making it difficult to gather critical supplies, especially if you have a child with special medical needs. In case of an evacuation, make sure that an emergency kit, which includes medical supplies and equipment, is a part of your disaster plan.
