Rationale:
1. Additional planning is important when a family has a child with a chronic health condition or one who is technology-assisted. An adequate supply of medication, equipment, and supplies should be maintained at all times. Resources to obtain a refill of medication and needed supplies during a disaster should be identified.
2. The family should anticipate several days' disruption in service during a disaster, and plan accordingly.
3. Pets should be a part of the disaster plan, including food, water, and any necessary medications.
4. More than one family member should be trained to provide needed care for a chronically ill or special needs child during a disaster, or in case something should happen to the primary caregiver.
