We are all special. Some of us are more special than others. 😊

During your emergency action planning, it is important to recognize any special needs of your group and develop ways to attend to them.

These special needs may be unique to the people affected by your plan, and may include some of the following conditions.

Individuals with special medical needs

Infants, children, teens, adults, and the elderly.

Mobility, hearing, sight, or emotionally impaired individuals.

Dietary restrictions.
