Ready Now: Emergency Preparedness Made Simple

Get ready for emergencies using the CMIST framework which can be particularly useful for people with disabilities. CMIST focuses on five key areas:

  • Communication: Ensuring you can receive and understand emergency alerts and information.
  • Maintaining Health: Accessing necessary medications, medical equipment, and healthcare services.
  • Independence: Maintaining daily living skills and routines as much as possible.
  • Support & Safety: Identifying support networks, evacuation plans, and safe shelters.
  • Transportation: Ensuring safe and accessible transportation options before, during, and after an emergency.
