Disaster Preparedness: Provider Planning Guide

Missouri Department of Mental Health’s Office of Disaster Services created this guide as a companion piece to the Personal Preparedness Guide. It is designed for direct service providers, case managers, and others who serve individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). It is focused on how you plan to meet the needs of those you serve.

This guide does not contain answers, as planning must meet individuals’ needs. Rather, it contains some of the questions you will need to address as you create plans.
