| Description: | PrepareNow.org provides tools, expertise and access to resources to assist disaster planning for individuals with special needs. Vulnerable people are those who cannot comfortably or safely access and use the standard resources offered in disaster preparedness, relief and recovery. For example: a disabled person whose needs cannot be met in a shelter, a non-English-speaker who does not understand the order to evacuate, a frail elder who cannot lift or carry a disaster supply kit or a recent immigrant who is reluctant to ask for help. The resources are available in multiple languages such as English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Portuguese. |
