For the millions of Americans who have physical, medical, sensory or cognitive disabilities, these emergencies can present additional challenges that may not be easily recognized by those who serve in public safety roles. According to the 2012 US Census, there are approximately 75,848 persons living in Montgomery County, Maryland with a disability. This figure does not include people living in nursing homes and individuals with other temporary access and functional needs. Everyone must plan ahead and stay informed in order to protect themselves and their families when disaster strikes. This Montgomery County, MD workbook is designed to help individuals with access and functional needs start planning and preparing for emergencies, but planning should not be done alone. We encourage family, friends, personal attendants, and other members of their support network to be involved in the planning discussion and to help assemble an emergency kit. Post the plan where everyone will see it, keep a copy with you and make sure everyone involved in your plan has a copy.
