π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Emergency preparedness looks different for every family.
Children, older adults and family members with medical, mobility or developmental needs may require some additional planning during an emergency.
As you review your household emergency plan, think about the individual needs of everyone who depends on you:
π΅ Older adults: Keep medications, mobility devices, hearing aids, glasses and important medical information accessible.
π§ Children: Make sure they know how and when to call 911, their home address and who they can trust during an emergency.
βΏ Family members with medical or mobility needs: Plan for necessary equipment, backup power, medications, transportation and caregiver support.
π Everyone: Identify emergency contacts and make sure family members know how to reconnect if you become separated.
Emergencies donβt always give us time to prepare. Taking a few minutes now can help protect the people who depend on you most.
As National Preparedness Month comes to a close, Bi-County Ambulance encourages everyone in our community to make preparedness part of their routine year-round.
