My Safety, My Responsibility, My Plan

My Safety, My Responsibility, My Plan is AbleLink’s cognitively accessible, independently usable informational App designed for self-paced learning of six different emergency preparedness modules. For this App AbleLink has again partnered with staff at the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD), a leader in promoting health and well-being for individuals with intellectual and other cognitive disabilities. This program is designed to be used directly by users with special needs (the App is not dependent on having literacy skills) to learn about what to expect and what to do in natural disasters in a self-directed manner, or as part of a group learning activity facilitated by an instructor using the My Safety, My Responsibility, My Plan Trainer’s Manual (http://www.wihd.org/page.aspx?pid=810#EmergencyPreparedness). Several other supporting documents are also available on this site.

My Safety, My Responsibility, My Plan is a multi-session program to train adults with intellectual disabilities to understand and to be prepared for emergencies. Information is based on the principles set by FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, the American Red Cross and the U.S. Fire Administration. The My Safety, My Responsibility, My Plan curriculum was developed through corporate funding from Entergy with the support of the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services and the American Red Cross in Westchester County. - Users and learning facilitators can also download forms used for emergency planning at http://www.ablelinktech.com/mysafety for use with the My Safety App.
