During an emergency or disaster, hearing aids, cochlear implants, batteries, chargers, or other communication devices may not be available or may not work. In those stressful situations, this simple visual tool can help you communicate important needs, understand instructions, and connect with first responders, caregivers, family members, and others.
Having a printed copy on hand can provide an important backup when your usual communication methods are unavailable.
