BE PREPARED Older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers can take steps to prepare for emergencies and incorporate their plan in Autumn AlertTM. By examining each person’s unique needs, it is possible to create individual emergency response plans that address unique medical conditions such as mobility limitations and the need for powered medical devices or durable medical equipment. Without the appropriate contingencies, these limitations could have a significant negative impact during a crisis.
INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT Autumn AlertTM can store critical information to assist First Responders. At a minimum, each individual response plan should address current medication, medical conditions, drug allergies, language barriers, preferred hospital, primary doctor, and other potentially life-critical information. Your information is secure and cannot be accessed and stored by your phone provider or your internet service provider. In creating the emergency notification list consideration should be given to the role of various family members, neighbors, and friends who should be included when creating a support network that can help during emergencies.
DESIGNED FOR USE IN EMERGENCIES Easy-to-use features offer quick and simple assistance for seniors and those with special needs such as those with Alzheimer’s disease, physical limitations, comprehension issues, and language barriers.
