Be prepared!
SCATP is here when you need durable medical equipment and assistive technology after a disaster. We also want to help you be prepared for a disaster before it happens.
Here are some quick tips to prepare for an emergency:
- Make sure all assistive technology, including cell phones, communication devices, and wheelchairs, are fully charged. Have extra batteries ready.
- Identify accessible transportation in the event of an evacuation.
- Create an emergency kit that includes assistive technology devices or medical equipment that you may need.
