This document contains a screening form to collect information about people with disabilities (PwDs) to assess their needs during disasters. The form collects personal details of the PwD and information about any difficulties they have with seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, understanding, or self-care. It also asks where the PwD spends their time, their occupation, and existing knowledge of disasters. The community worker notes the PwD's interest in training and any additional support they may need during disasters for communication, early warning, evacuation, shelter, medical care, or assistive devices.
