Emergency Preparedness for People with Disabilities

Why not? Seriously.
I am no long a Commissioner for People with Disabilities/chairing the emergency preparedness committee,
but being an advocate/stakeholder for the disabled for 16 years plus all my disaster training, I bring my table
anywhere....
I;m a committed person to the community and it doesn't hurt that I'm a weather weenie supreme.
After yesterday's tragedy with the tornado - it should be VERY EVIDENT why preparedness is important.
For everyone. When the NWS sends out warnings/TV mets get the word out/sirens blare/cities have cane workshops
ITS FOR A REASON...what's up with Baytown?
So, YOU JUST DO IT.
Next Hurricane Workshop is in KEMAH:
You know that sweet city RIGHT next to the Bay? Yeah, KEMAH

There is a system coming in from the EPAC, crossing Mexico, and if it stays together
going into the GOM.
Here is the latest from the Houston/Galveston NWS
The storms name is Barbara. Its a reminder that, altho cane season doesn't OFFICIALLY start until June 1st,
Mother Nature is shifting gears to Cane season -whether we're ready or not - (but we're ready right?)
From Houston NWS:
EASTERN PACIFIC HURRICANE BARBARA IS MAKING A MEXICAN LANDFALL THIS
AFTERNOON NEAR SALINA CRUZ. WE WILL MONITOR WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS SYSTEM
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...BUT AS OF NOW AVAILABLE MODELS KEEP ALL
MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM IN/AROUND THE BAY OF CAMPECHE AND YUCATAN
AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK. BARBARA IS
A REMINDER THAT THE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON BEGINS ON SATURDAY.

Hello back at ya, Texas Pirate...and thanks so much for bringing your message of preparedness for the senior and disabled community to Galveston. It was really nice to "eyeball" (old CB radio term) one of my weather buds. You had a lot of useful informantion to share with the public. I hope you continue to raise awareness of the need to be prepared for emergencies and I applaud your dedication.Texas Pirate wrote:WOW GALVESTON! What a great turn out for the Hurricane Town Meeting!

Thanks STORMRIDER
Well, today is June 1st. Hurricane Season. For the next 6 months, all eyes on the GOM.
There is one thing I really want to stress (other than having a PLAN) is this:
IF you or a loved one, is dependent on electricity, to LIVE
MAKE A PLAN now to get OUT of town. Especially if you live
in a low lying area and must evacuate.
Once you lose power don't think the power company will
come right on over to turn your power back on.
They won't. Maybe they cant get to your area.
And you'll be like a fish out of water.
LEAVE.
Make a plan and figure out where you would go
who you would stay with
and how you will get there.
You know your disability better than anyone else.
You know what you have to do to sustain an independent lifestyle.
work it.
I got some really good links I hope you bookmark for your area:
These give good information for people with disabilities and you can always
keep the number of your local emergency management office.
IF you need a way out: REGISTER either with your local OEM or 211.

I know I have spoke extensively about preparation and what you need regardless if you "hunker down" or are under
mandatory evacuation to leave (either with friends/family or to a shelter)
(REMEMBER: if your life depends on electricity you should LEAVE)
Now I will turn to sheltering and what you should expect AFTER the storm.
First: SHELTERING:
At the Galveston town meeting, a woman with a disability came to the table.
She was new in the area and asked the following question about "sheltering".
The woman was in a wheelchair and dependent upon oxygen to breathe.
New to Galveston.
She only has one sister in Austin. Both have no cars.
She said "What do I do? I have heard so many conflicting reports about people in wheelchairs. I hear some
shelters wont even take me. I want to leave, but maybe I should just stay."
WRONG. NO. WRONG. I told her. The organization that did turn away in the past, is working on it and getting better.
Accessible sheltering is a major push by the disability activists and advocates working with different organizations
in making it better.
Being dependent upon oxygen to live - you will leave.
I told her to register with the city to get help getting out.
She did.
She wrote down all her meds she's on at my table and we started to build a plan.
Now what happens if you have to evacuate and go to shelter instead of with family/friends?
Lets all agree being in a shelter is NOT the Hilton.
It's like camping with a lot of people you don't know
without the fun of making s'mores.
But go ahead, sing a round of Kumbaya.
You will be provided a cot. Food. Updates on the weather.
Showers and a bathroom.
But the cool thing is: You will be OUT OF HARMS WAY.
You might get to San Antonio or Austin (depending on where your city takes you on this wild adventure)
and from what I'm' hearing some shelters may be as close as just outside of Houston to the west of us.
Wheel of Wonder....
In any event, once you are there - you are safe.
(When the ALL CLEAR is given by our emergency managers of a particular city, you can go back.
IF there are no gas leaks or other issues that would cause injury or death.)
You should take with you some kind of id that you lived where you lived.
You obviously will have all that in formation in your evacuation kit.
Drivers license/insurance/maybe even a water or gas bill.
What should you take if you shelter (or to a friends/family home outside the SURGE or FLOOD ZONE two different things)
Your important papers and those of your families if you are going with more than just yourself
If you take your pet (REMEMBER TEXAS IS A PET FRIENDLY SHELTER STATE!) their important papers, their carriers,
their FOOD. Shelters will NOT feed pets YOU are to provide that.
Service dogs are ALWAYS allowed. is the LAW.
Pillows/blankets
Towels and other hygienic stuff
medications/doctors information/prescriptions - which can be gotten PRIOR to the storm. Some doctors give a three month supply during the summer. Check with your doctor.
If you have children: their information/clothes/medication/doctor information
diapers/baby food/pacifiers
Toys and games for children. Remember children need to be comforted thru this difficult time too.
cell phone chargers
List of family phone numbers and addresses OUTSIDE the area. A(You will want to call them and tell you where you are going. They can be the contact point for information for everyone)
You can register at safeandwell.org which is run by the Red Cross to let family members know you are okay.
You can add to this list. You know what you need better than anyone else.
Next: What to expect when you return home.....

WOW! What an awesome turn out at the Pasadena Convention Center today!
Met some very kind folks who truly are UP ON THE PREPAREDNESS!
Also wanting to know how to care for loved ones in assistant living centers or nursing homes
YAY for YOU for caring....
Kudos to all today. - y'all rock La Porte, Pasadena, Deer Park,
and even some from Baytown who came in for this - THANK YOU for visiting my table,
telling me your stories and BEING PREPARED!
Wow.
Saw Jeff Lindner there - what a great person!
Again: One more time:
Tis the season
You got the plan
If you are dependent on electricity to LIVE - you will LEAVE if in a mandatory area
and if you stay in an area that is deemed "hunker down" (I HATE THAT TERM)- you will have a generator.
If you need help getting a plan together or a question, leave it here or PM me
which is easier for you.
Once we got something in the GOM, its too late to plan ahead if you want to continue an independent lifestyle
to the BEST of your ability
and need to evacuate. Or hunker down safely.
Lets do it.

One of the most popular item on my table
(other than the fascination of material in braille)
is a zip lock bag.
That's right. A simple zipped lock bag.
When people ask me "What is that for?" I am more than happy to tell them.
Write your name on the bag
write the meds going into that bag
(Use as many as you need if you take multi-medications. Try and keep them separate.)
Make sure its identified properly
You can even put your prescription in it, if you got them.
When the time comes and you need to evacuate:
take the bag out of wherever you are keeping it, put in the meds.
Voila. The bag that thinks for you. Don't we have enough to worry about
when Hurricane Bubba decides to come visit?
After I told the story, this one woman said
"Hurricane Ike was a disaster. (Yes,it was!)
My husband and I went to stay with our daughter outside of Katy.
He threw all the meds in one suitcase and left some behind.
It was so chaotic for us. This is really a great idea!"
Yes, m'am its a HUBBY HELPER for sure!
Simple. Hope this helps.
