WELL-KNOWN FOUNDATION RELEASES EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS GUIDELINES FOR PEOPLE WITH PARALYSIS
The Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation released a booklet specifically for people living with paralysis and their caregivers to navigate the complexities of emergency preparedness.

“In instances of disaster, such as a fire, blizzard, tornado warning or hurricane flood, those living with paralysis have extenuating factors to consider to ensure their safety and livelihood. These include power outages for those utilizing electricity-dependent medical equipment, caregiving interruptions, and even when, where, and how to evacuate.”

Through our work with senior living facilities, CHUG understands the extra considerations that need to be made when unplanned emergencies occur, especially for those with life-sustaining treatments and mobility challenges.

At CHUG, we know that both minor and major disruptions have to be considered to maintain quality patient care, staffing, and overall healthcare facility operations. That’s why we are passionate about helping you every step of the way. From understanding your facility’s specific level of risk all the way to helping you create a strong Emergency Operations Plan with training along the way.
