This is general, plain-language information — not legal, medical, or financial advice. Please confirm details with the official source.
Michigan weather can bring power outages, flooding, and winter storms. A plan that includes your disability-related needs can make a big difference.
Build a support network of people who can check on you. Share your plan and a spare key with someone you trust.
Your kit should include medications, copies of prescriptions, chargers and backup batteries for devices, and information about how you communicate.
If you use power-dependent equipment, contact your utility company to ask about priority programs, and plan for backup power.
Know how you will get emergency alerts, including accessible formats such as text and captioned alerts.
