What kind of precautions should disabled people and their families take
In the survey by “Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) and The Prime Ministry Administration for Disabled People (ÖZİDA)” it is stated that in Turkey, there are almost 8, 5 million disabled citizens including those with chronic diseases. When they are considered with their families, 30 million people are affected by the disability phenomenon.
Therefore not only disabled people should have information about disaster preparation but also their families, relatives, friends and the personnel in the corporations from which they get service.
It would not be possible to get the necessary aid at the first 72 hours, called as “golden hours”, during a disaster or emergency. Getting through this period with the minimum loss depends on being prepared.
This guide includes general information for all disabled groups and basic informations that are distinctively prepared for each disabled group for earthquake preparedness.
