South Carolina Assistive Technology Program logo

Hurricane Dorian is approaching!
Are you 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 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. For a complete guide on how to prepare for an emergency, visit: https://www.ready.gov/individuals-access-functional-needs
