Disability and Evacuation

Hello all!!

I'm not sure if this has been touched on lately, but it's never a bad time for a discussion.

Several creators have spoken lately about the physical disability community and evacuation events, in light of the fact that three of the sixteen people who have died in the CA fires were physically disabled.

Anyone can chime in here. If you are physically disabled or have someone who is in your family, how are you thinking about backup plans for evacuation, should planned services not be available or able to get in/out?

For those who are working on community building, does your area have anything like a phone tree for people who require assistance to evacuate? Other solutions? I was thinking about our neighborhood, and at this point I don't believe we do - although informally a couple of us would certainly make a call or check at our elderly neighbor's home if we were required to evacuate.

Interested in any thoughts, known limitations, workarounds, gripes, solutions or rants. Lay it on us! ♿💙
