Emergency & Disaster Planning Publication
I am Citizen Prepared is a publication for people with disabilities and the people who support them. Emergency preparedness is a topic that is on the minds of many Americans these days in light of the 9-11 tragedy and subsequent terrorist attacks all over the world. There is much written about the subject, but not in a format that is accessible to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
I am Citizen Prepared is designed to provide information that does not focus on the scary aspect of disasters and emergencies. It offers the reader suggestions on how to prepare oneself in the event that an emergency does arise. The reader is encouraged to think of emergency preparedness as a project rather than a reaction to an unexpected and frightening event.
I am Citizen Prepared is 49 pages on 8.5 x 11 paper and opens with Adobe Acrobat - Download
Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for free download here.
