You can buy a ready-made emergency kit from various providers. Does the International Emergency Package Quality Mark logo appear on it? Then you can be sure that the emergency kit contains the most important tools. This does not mean that all packages without a logo are incomplete. A standard emergency kit is not fully adapted to your personal situation. It is ALWAYS necessary to supplement the purchased Emergency Kit and keep it up to date. For example with medicines, water, documents, baby food and food for your pets.

A network of neighbours, family, friends, personal carers and colleagues is very important in an emergency situation. You can discuss your disability with them and ask them in advance if they want to help you. Tell them what help you expect from them. Make clear agreements about this and discuss your measures with them. Also in case you need to evacuate. Make sure a trusted person in the area has a key to your house, knows where you keep your emergency kit and what your medication is. Ask your network if they want to notify you and keep you informed if there is an emergency.
You may have to leave your home unexpectedly in an emergency. You can indicate in advance how. Discuss this with those who want to help you if something happens.

Discuss these wishes and practice your evacuation plan once a year with those in your network who will assist you.
