The way emergency information is sent out in your community may not work for everyone. If you don’t speak English well, or if you use an assistive device to speak or hear, make a plan now. Make sure you can get and give information in a disaster. Communities may give information by television or radio, by automated phone call, text messages, email, or by sounding outdoor warning sirens. Police or fire may use loudspeakers to give information as they drive through the streets. Responders or volunteers may go door-to-door to talk to people directly. If you think you may not be able to understand emergency information, identify someone (or more than one person) that you can contact for help in an emergency. Have more than one way to get in touch with them. Keep their contact information with you.

I wrote this post 8 years ago and looking at the Rape Crisis England & Wales petition it is more pertinent now than ever. #SpecialistSupportServices #BreakingTheCycle #SOB Just attended yet another meeting to discuss lack of funding for specialist support services for adult services of #childsexualabuse Until I started really actively working in this area I never fully appreciated how hard it has been for the voluntary specialist support service sector or the 3rd sector to get funding for the services they provide. The situation has been desperate for decades and even more of a problem now with more and more victims & survivors disclosing and needing specialist support. The statutory sector have tried hard to offer what they think victims & survivors need but they have got it completely wrong. It's inadequate, underfunded and too generalist. Until the Government, the Mayor & Health professionals take on board... *The scale of the problem adult survivors of non recent childabuse *The impact of CSA on individuals *The lack of specialist support services *The lack of funding We have a major challenge on our hands and the cost to NHS services is just going to explode. What's needed? The powers that be need to TRULY listen to the needs of victims & survivors and not just do tick box exercises that suit their agenda's. Work with specialist support services from the voluntary sector to create best pathways of care for victims & survivors to access. Invest into adequate provision of specialist support services (not just 6 weeks of CBT if your lucky!) Investment needs to be consistent and made on a rolling basis so that the voluntary sector are not relying donations and spending many manhours applying for funding that there is no guarantee of getting! This is a cross political party issue that needs to be addressed urgently. I know many of my colleagues have been fighting for years for change.... well we are not giving up. There are lives at stake, individuals health & wellbeing at stake, family relationships at stake.
