Make a plan
"We are on our own," says disability policy consultant June Kailes. "We have to make plans together."
“People automatically assume they’re going to be rescued,” said Kailes. “That’s why it’s so critical to have good relationships and agreements with neighbors. How would you get out of the apartment if the elevator doesn’t work? How would you get to the street if you had to get downstairs? It’s about thinking about everything that’s disturbing to think about, and planning for it.”
