Abandonment: Brainstorming the Possible What-Ifs of Disaster Planning with Disabled People is a valuable source of condensed information for various types of organizations, families, and caregivers to utilize in becoming better prepared to fine-tune emergency response plans for assisting people with disabilities during catastrophic events. Most importantly, the book will help to prevent caregivers from leaving their jobs during disasters. The book examines how to become better prepared. The book poses questions, forcing the reader to dig deeper during the planning process— looking at scenarios ahead of time that are typically uncomfortable to examine. This will help developers build more efficient plans and therefore train caregivers more thoroughly. In general, the book reviews basics on various disaster threats, and how to prevent abandonment on the job. Disabled people have rights during disasters that need to be advocated for—caregivers need to be educated about this, and more.

Integrating Mental Health and Disability into Public Health Disaster Preparedness and Response brings together the fields of mental/behavioral health, law, human rights, and medicine as they relate to disaster planning and response for people with disabilities, mental and behavioral health conditions and chronic illness. Children and adults with disabilities, mental/behavioral health conditions and chronic illness remain more vulnerable to the negative effects of emergencies and disasters than the general population. This book addresses the effects of emotional trauma, personal growth and resilience, the impact on physical health and systems of care, and legal compliance and advocacy. Following a philosophy of whole community emergency planning, inclusive of people with disabilities, the book advocates for considering and addressing these issues together in an effort to ultimately lead to greater resilience for individuals with disabilities and the whole community. - Provides a public health framework on the phases of disasters, integrating mental health and disability into planning, responding to disasters, and recovering post disaster - Offers solutions for disability and disaster needs, as well as planning and systems for service delivery at multiple levels, including individual, local, state and federal - Provides global examples of real world tools, best practices and legal principles, allowing the reader to think about the role that disability and mental health play in disaster planning, response and recovery across the world - Reflects the best thinking about disaster planning and response and disability-related issues and demonstrates new and creative ways of bringing together these fields to strengthen communities

Disaster preparedness became a renewed priority for our nation as a direct response to the devastation of 9/11. Government at all levels has imbedded stronger collaboration with non-governmental civic and private sector org. and the general public in policies and practices. The Citizen Corps grassroots model of community preparedness has spread across the country, and Americans have been asked to become fully aware, trained, and practiced on how to respond to potential threats and hazards. To evaluate the nation¿s progress on personal preparedness, FEMA conducted national household surveys to measure the public¿s knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors relative to preparing for a range of hazards. This report is a summary of those findings.
