Disaster Plans are not based on a single person, but a greater area of need. The more that are registered within the plan will benefit. Chicago has a Disaster Plan for the Disabled. Many have signed up and registered, but the other 50% are not known because they have not heard of or registered. I believe that each person should have a Disaster Plan. Something as a simple 900-1000 watt gasoline generator could help someone in need until power is restored. I recently purchased a small hand carry gasoline generator, for $90 bucks from Harbor Freight. I've seen videos on You-Tube of these generators powering drills, saws, cement mixers and welding equipment (not at the same time) so I'm sure that in an emergency it will power vital equipment until utilities are restored. Also, don't wait to have a back up plan for your Disaster Plan. Best Wishes In a message dated 4/28/2016 9:07:33 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Call me a cynic but, I don't see the utilities running around the city during a major outage restoring power to a person here and a person there when there's tens or hundreds of thousands of people without power. I was on my local utilities "list" and was still without power for 3 days. I'm a vent user and they didn't make me a priority. Granted this was an epic outage but point being don't rely on "lists" -have an emergency game plan. On 4/28/2016 1:30 PM, Lori Michaelson wrote: I had better do that so my answer is no. But I have been under so much stress over the last 3 months I am still trying to keep up with getting anything done including change of address for Social Security and Medicare. However, I my electric company and gas company each gave me a pamphlet to take to my physician to have them sign it so if the utilities were to go out I would be the first one to come to. Since I am dependent upon a rotating air mattress, an electric hospital bed, wheelchair charger and Hoyer lift charger, etc. I NEED them to know that so at least I have done that. They actually offered to do that when I first contacted them. ~Lori On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 1:07 AM, RONALD L PRACHT <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: Have any quads on the list let the fire department know they use a wheelchair and what bedroom they are in?
