Emer­gen­cies and dis­as­ters can strike quick­ly and with­out warn­ing can force you to evac­u­ate your schools, neigh­bour­hood or even con­fine you to your home.

What would you do if ba­sic ser­vices—wa­ter, gas, elec­tric­i­ty or tele­phones—were cut off?

Lo­cal of­fi­cials and re­lief work­ers will be on the scene af­ter a dis­as­ter, but they can’t reach every­one right away.

Through its “Prepar­ing You” pro­gramme, the Dig­i­cel Foun­da­tion in col­lab­o­ra­tion with stake­hold­ers from the Of­fice of Dis­as­ter Pre­pared­ness and Man­age­ment (ODPM), and the Trinidad and To­ba­go Fire Ser­vice em­barked on a se­ries of ca­pac­i­ty-build­ing ex­er­cis­es which em­pha­sised plan­ning for safe­ty amongst our spe­cial needs com­mu­ni­ties.

Where will you, your fam­i­ly, your friends or per­son­al care at­ten­dants be when an emer­gency or dis­as­ter strikes?

You, and those you care about, could be any­where--at home, work, school or in tran­sit. How will you find each oth­er?

Will you know your loved ones will be safe?

These ques­tions are an­swered in the video on hur­ri­cane pre­pared­ness, which fea­tures some brave youths with spe­cial needs.
