Disaster Preparedness: Disability Alert Wallet Cards

Disability Alert Wallet Cards

These free, printable wallet cards help people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) quickly share critical information with first responders during an emergency. Cards cover eight disability types including autism, epilepsy, mobility disabilities, vision and hearing disabilities and I/DD. Each card includes space for a name and emergency contact, plus guidance for first responders on how to help.

For providers: If you support individuals with I/DD, take our interactive course Disaster Preparedness Guidebooks for Providers Supporting Individuals with I/DD in the Disaster Services section to build personalized preparedness plans together. You can:

  • Take the interactive course online
  • Print the PDF version of the guidebook for use with individuals and families
  • Request physical copies from the Missouri Department of Mental Health

To request physical copies, email Debra Hendricks at debra.hendricks@dmh.mo.gov.
