Be Prepared!

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.
