    • A great resource for individuals with functional needs is the DPH Preparedness Buddy. Access the Preparedness Buddy brochure(link opens in new tab).
    • This printable brochure is a handy tool that will provide you and your preparedness buddy with essential information should you find yourself in a situation where you would need to evacuate. DPH asks caregivers, relatives, and advocates of persons with access and functional needs to designate two dependable caregivers, relatives, or friends to be “Preparedness Buddies” — a primary buddy and an alternate buddy. Preparedness buddies assist such individuals with planning for emergencies and evacuating if necessary. Persons with Access and Functional Needs have visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, emotional, and mental limitations, and include older people, children, those with limited or no English language proficiency, persons from diverse cultures, individuals who use life-support systems, people who use service animals, and people who are medically or chemically dependent.
