 From the Not Dead Yet | The Resistance website: an article addressing advance preparedness for persons with disability in the event of a disaster.

The second resource, which explains the steps a person with disabilities and the wider community can take in the event of a disaster:  Emergency Preparedness – A Common Sense Measure for the Disability Community

The article which is the source of these online resources: Portlight Strategies – Disaster and Disability
