Why Did We Create This Toolkit?
We live in a world that requires us to be prepared for emergencies. Whether it’s an earthquake, living in a conflict zone, natural disasters, power outages, or other unforeseen circumstances, these are difficult situations for people living with ALS/MND and their families.
Everyone’s situation is different, and it is important to plan and be prepared, taking into account your own needs. That’s why we have prepared this toolkit, which includes forms and videos. It will help people living with ALS/MND and their caregivers be ready in the event of an emergency.
Emergency Preparedness Forms
The unique needs of a person living with ALS/MND are important to consider on any given day, and even more so in the event of an emergency. These forms will help people living with ALS/MND and their caregivers outline what is required.
We recommend complete the forms below, have printed versions available, and share them with your support network. Also remember to review and update your forms once or twice per year.
