Disaster can instantly change all auditory clues.  It can spook seeing-eye dogs and change physical cues dramatically.  Preparation is essential for visually impaired individual.  Below are some helpful tips and suggestions.

Canes
If you use a cane, keep extras in strategic, consistent and secured locations at work, home, school and volunteer site to help you maneuver around obstacles and hazards.
Keep a spare cane in your emergency kit.

Alternative mobility cues
If you have some vision, place security lights in each room to light paths of travel. These lights plug into electric wall outlets and light up automatically if there is a loss of power. They will, depending on type, continue to operate automatically for 1 to 6 hours. They can also be turned off manually and used as a short-lasting flashlight.

Store high-powered flashlights with wide beams and extra batteries.

Plan for losing the auditory clues you usually rely on after a major disaster.

Service animals may become confused, frightened or disoriented during and after a disaster. Keep them confined or securely leashed or harnessed. A leash/harness is an important item for managing a nervous or upset animal. Be prepared to use alternative ways to negotiate your environment.

Label supplies
If helpful, mark emergency supplies with large print, fluorescent tape or Braille.

Secure computers
Anchor special equipment and large pieces of furniture such as computers and shelving. Create a computer back-up system for important data and store it off site.

Advocacy issues
Advocate that TV news not only post important phone numbers, but also announce them slowly and repeat them frequently for people who cannot read the screen.
