| IF AN EMERGENCY OCCURED, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN! |
If you woke up tonight and smelled smoke, would you immediately know what to do to protect yourself and your family? When Disaster Strikes – A Pocket Survival Guide contains useful information and resources for preparing for common emergencies, such as fire, severe weather and power outages. Although anyone can benefit from this information, it is specifically designed to address the unique needs of people with disabilities.

What is life like after an amputation? This question is key to exploring other questions such as: What do people living with limb loss need to live the best possible lives, and how do we meet those needs? The Limb Loss Research and Statistics Program (LLR&SP), in collaboration with the staff of the ACA, conducted a national survey of people with limb loss to answer these and other questions. From the beginning, it was clear that we needed to hear from the people who were the “experts” — those living with the loss of a limb or limbs every day. The purpose of the consumer survey was to determine how well people with limb loss were functioning in their everyday lives and what services they may need, but are not getting. This information is important for healthcare planners, policymakers and service providers to ensure that people with amputations receive what they need to live healthy and productive lives. With this in mind, survey questions were written to look at the following: (1) the overall health and well-being of people with limb loss; (2) the need for services such as medical care and rehabilitation; (3) the use of, and satisfaction with, prosthetic devices and related services; and (4) environmental barriers and attitudes that impact overall well-being. People With Amputation Speak Out summarizes the findings from this research study.
