Emergency Preparedness. Every Body. Every Ability.
Whatever brings you this way, Welcome.
The Memento Mei Foundation
What We Do:
Bridging Disability & Disaster Resilience
We equip people with disabilities and their families with adaptive roadmaps for every phase of preparedness—because safety shouldn’t depend on ability.
How We Help
✅ Emergency Blueprints
For wildfires, blackouts, caregiver loss, and more—because a plan that ignores sensory needs, communication differences, or mobility barriers isn’t a plan at all.
✅ Self-Serve Tools
Fillable forms, visual guides, and SOSpeak emergency cards—tools designed to work with how you think, move, and communicate.
✅ 1:1 Consultations
No jargon, no guilt—just actionable steps for your loved one’s triggers, strengths, and worst-case scenarios.
Why It Matters
When disasters strike, disabled individuals are 4x more likely to be left behind (UN, 2014). We’re changing that—through education, community partnerships, and tools that answer the silent question:
“When I need help, will anyone know how to support me?”
Join us in building a world where no one is left behind.
Our Services
-
We design customized plans for hurricanes, wildfires, and other major disasters—ensuring evacuation routes, shelter access, and medical continuity are tailored to disability needs.
-
We create hyper-specific plans for community crises (power outages, floods, transit failures)—ensuring rapid response with accessible shelters, backup transportation, and disability-aware first responders.
-
We transform homes into secure havens with customized plans for fires, medical crises, and caregiver gaps/incapacity—so safety is always within reach.
-
Prefer a DIY approach? No problem! We offer copies of quick reference forms and self-guided preparedness planning.
