Emergency Plan Workbook for
People with Disabilities
Yuba County Public Health has a
workbook where people with disabilities and their families can
fill it out and use during an emergency. This workbook
will come in handy in case the disabled patient needs to
evacuate to go to a shelter or a place where they do not have
their usual caregivers. This workbook allows you to write
any medications, medical equipment and other aids to let the
caregiver know what they need to make the temporary move more
comfortable. Please download the document
here. You
will need
Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it.
