• List of Non-ambulatory residents - It was felt that it would be helpful to have a list of those residents that would require special assistance in the event of an emergency. Such as those with major medical concerns, home oxygen, hearing or vision impaired, wheelchair or walker use, etc. By having a list prior to an emergency the EMA would be able to direct extra help to those in need.

• Residents with equipment/skills - Other information that would be helpful during an emergency, would be knowing what residents might have generators, tractors and snowmobiles. Also, any particular skills that people might have - such as Doctors, Nurses, EMTs, Police officers, etc.
