Dennis Debbaudt is a name that appears frequently in information regarding training about Autism to first responders in emergencies.
There is a document that contains some suggestions about how to prepare for an emergency ahead a time. To read about these suggestions, go to this link. I found that it contained some information that I was unaware of. For example, did you know that some communities have a 911 special needs database? I didn't. You can provide information about the person in your home with special needs in advance of an emergency in case you are unable to communicate the information yourself. Did you know that there are decals for your car and home that let first responders know that someone with autism may be present? I didn't.
