This video describes how to prepare for emergencies if you have a child with disabilities. Families should make an emergency kit with food, water, and important documents. Include special items like medicines and toys for your child’s needs. Plan how to communicate and meet during emergencies, practice the plan beforehand, and stay informed through local updates on TV or radio. Staying calm helps everyone remain safe.
