  • Discuss with relatives, friends, neighbours, carers or social workers what help you may need.
  • If you use a power wheelchair, have a lightweight manual chair as a backup.
  • If you use a cushion, and you have to evacuate without a wheelchair, take the cushion with you.
  • Have an extra mobility device like a cane or walker at home.
  • Have tools that may be needed for your equipment, such as a wrench.
  • Get a head torch, they are good for freeing your hands.
  • Have a whistle to signal for help.
  • Make sure that people around you know that you might need extra support if something happens.
