Description and Reviewers' Comments
A small pocket guide provides guidance on how first responders should approach caring for people with special needs during an emergency. The content may serve as a quick reference for first responders who are augmenting the healthcare workforce or serving in an alternate care center during an emergency. A reviewer with experience in emergency response mentioned that this tool would be an invaluable resource for responders who otherwise would learn special needs skills through experience.
Component Parts
Materials submitted for this project consist of electronic documents and web links, and combinations of both. If a component part appears to have more than one link, this is why: CIDRAP saved the documents and reviewed both documents and links when the practices were submitted for review. The external links included here may be duplicative to some of the stored files, but they may also be updated or provide additional useful information.
