Health & Communications Passports for Emergency Preparedness
Click here for a video of the webinar on Health and Communications Passports by CERV.
This webinar focuses on two kinds of passports that could prove especially helpful to children, adults, elders and those with disabilities during disasters, emergencies and the aftermath. Health and Communication Passports are tools for communication and information sharing. These documents can also have significant value in non-emergency situations like visits to a clinic or health practitioner, interactions with police officers, home visits from nurses, communications with elderly care personnel and many more. Whether when a natural disaster strikes or you are just going to a medical appointment, communication is a crucial component. Preparing these two types of passports in advance can prevent communication breakdowns or confusion because clear and efficient information is present and can make a difference to safety, health and comfort under trying circumstances. These passports share some similarities, but also reflect some important differences. This video includes templates that can be used for your Health & Communication passports and reviews the kind of information that should be included.
