Carl I agree with you having an emergency plan for those with toxic mold

illness as well as MCS and other environmental illnesses is imperative. Too

often trying to help ourselves once we have been exposed is too difficult

and too late. Having plans in writing, being familiar with them, an

emergency kit for different scenarios is most helpful and if possible

sharing these plans with family members or others that may be of assistance

is necessary.

I learned this lesson well last year during the impending non-stop hurricane

warnings of having to evacuate. I was not so concerned about mold attacks;

but rather the environmental toxins for me such as exhaust fumes etc and I

was forced to take action. I wish I had my list months in advance to avoid

so much stress. Now I'm glad I did and have been able to share my plan with

others who have MCS. We never know if we will be forced to take emergency

actions due to severe weather, utility outages, chemical plant explosions,

or other unforeseen emergencies as well as chemical toxins such as

unexpected pesticide exposure, fragrances, neighbor sealing their siding

with Kilz, and so forth. Each one of us has our own individual " toxins " and

we need to have a plan short and long term and evacuation if necessary from

our homes.

I will be more than happy to compile the responses we receive and post to

the group after completion and will be happy to share what emergency

preparations I have in place for us in the next few days when I find some

spare time.

Thank you for suggesting this and I hope all the members will volunteer to

assist with this project.

Rosie and ,

Your discussion about an emergency back-up plan is new and important.

It won't be for everyone, certainly not a PIR 1-3 or maybe most 4s.

But anyone severely impacted or who experiences life threatening

reactions should have one. E.g. asthmatics carry inhalers, alleric

people carry epi-pens.

What sort of actions would be helpful when severely impacted by

exposures whether mold, chemicals, dander, dust, pollen, paint,

perfume, pesticides, etc? Should we have a plan for housing? Could we

generate a list of recommendations for others?

Have the examples of progressive illness you cited implemented any

elements of an emergency plan or made any preparations for

evacuation?

What advice have you given the senior who is degenerating and that

family you mentioned in which the parents are becoming too ill to

care for their children?

Are they ready to take action?

Or are they repeating the mistakes most of us made, and are waiting

for the doctors to get them out of their plight?
