🎒 Be Prepared: Your Go (and Stay) Bag Checklist In this last installment of our WHY WE PREP series, we’re getting specific. What do you need to have prepped in case of a disaster? ➡️ Download our full checklist here: peopleoverpetro.org/enabled-prep

Text: Be Prepared: Your Go (and Stay) Bag Checklist

Disabled folks are often brilliant at anticipating our own needs. That can work to our advantage when planning for disaster scenarios. We already hold a lot of wisdom about real-world adaptation, which can make us natural leaders in emergency situations.Illustration of a nonbinary person getting ready to put on their prosthetic leg at home. Behind them, an older woman closes a window to keep smoke from entering the room. Keys, prescription medication jars, and a crutch are visible in the foreground. Both people are sweating heavily.

Generally, there are two disaster responses you’ll want supplies for 
1. Shelter-In-Place, or staying put (much more common) and,
2. Evacuating, or GTFOIllustration of a grid checklist with various emergency supplies: food and water, a charger, a hand-crank radio, etc. At the top, the handwritten words: I NEED

After a Disaster: Know Your Rights ⚖️ Remember, no matter what anyone else says, your rights are never suspended in a disaster. By understanding your rights, you can become your own best advocate – even in an emergency. ➡️ Download full Enabled Prep guides: peopleoverpetro.org/enabled-prep

Text: After a Disaster: Know Your Rights
Illustration of a wheelchair user icon riding a wave.

Text: You have the right to accessible information and communication.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you have the right to receive information in formats that are accessible to you (i.e. ASL interpreters, large print, braille, assistive technology). If you find emergency information that is not accessible, you have the right to request an accessible version from your local government and/or local, state, or tribal emergency management agency. Illustration of an ambulance riding a wave.

Text: You have the right to equal access to emergency services.

The ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act require emergency shelters, medical services, and disaster recovery programs to be accessible to those of us with disabilities. Shelters cannot deny you entry because of a disability. You also have the right to bring your service animal with you to a shelter, disaster recovery center, or other public place providing disaster-related programs and services. Illustration of a barrel of toxic chemicals riding a wave.

Text: You have the right to health and environmental safety.

The Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, among other environmental laws, protect everyone from exposure to harmful substances such as toxic chemicals. If you suspect that safety regulations are not being enforced - for example, a company is not disclosing a chemical leak to your community - then you can file a complaint with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or your state’s environmental agency.

Text: What do you do when something goes (very) wrong?

Above all - don’t ignore it. Trust yourself and your senses, and seek out reliable real-time information from your local government, news, or emergency services. As long as you’re doing what you can to keep yourself and your people safe, you’re succeeding. Illustration of a warning sign with an exclamation point in the center.

Text: Generally, if the disaster is severe enough, you’ll get one of two announcements: Shelter-In-Place or Evacuate. If you receive either of these orders - please follow them. Even if you don’t feel in danger, they will steer you to maximum safety.Illustration of a radiating heart.

Text: Most importantly — believe yourself
If you think you might have been exposed (even a little) or start experiencing new symptoms, don’t wait — seek medical attention right away! 
The earlier you go, the more effective any possible treatment will be. No matter what, you are always worth taking care of.

This is a big deal. Call your Senator TODAY and tell them to vote NO on SJR 31 - a Congressional Review Act that would permanently strip the Clean Air Act of its ability to report and regulate industries most toxic chemicals like mercury, lead, and benzene. Now is our best chance to stop it!
“My name is ______, and I’m calling Senator ______  to urge them to vote NO on SJR 31, which would strip the Clean Air Act of landmark environmental protections that have kept Americans like my family safe for decades.
If passed, this CRA would strip the reporting and regulating of industry’s most toxic pollutants, including lead, mercury, arsenic, benzene, and metals, which are known to cause cancer, birth defects, and other serious illness. As if that weren’t dangerous enough, the passage of this CRA would also prevent the US EPA from ever writing similar air protections in the future - a decision that would have disastrous health impacts for generations to come.
This is nothing short of a life-threatening piece of legislation, and I urge you to do everything you can to put a stop to it immediately before more lives are lost to preventable toxic pollution. Thank you for you for giving this your most urgent attention.”
