The other day, I cited an article from
Mom with a Prep called "
Emergency Preparedness Resources for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing." In thinking about the subject further, besides the resources listed in the foregoing article, I would also remind readers that
the Hesperian Foundation has various books on helping the disabled that are available for sale or as a free PDF download.Some of the titles are:
- Disabled Village Children
- Helping Children Who Are Blind
- Helping Children Who Are Deaf
- A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities
Although written for the use and benefit of third world villages, there may be information useful for a disaster or grid down situation.
Also, don't forget the
Red Cross booklet, "
Preparing for Disaster for People with Disabilities and other Special Needs." The Red Cross also has information on
helping the elderly, including a booklet entitled, "
Disaster Preparedness For Seniors By Seniors."
