What can provide information about the specific needs of a person in an emergency?

The selection of individual emergency plans is particularly appropriate because these plans are tailored specifically to the needs, preferences, and circumstances of a person. While continuity of operations focuses on maintaining business functions, and general emergency practices offer a broad overview of safety protocols, individual emergency plans take into account the unique requirements of each individual—such as medical conditions, mobility needs, or communication preferences.

Community emergency guidelines can provide useful information on larger scale responses and resources available in a community, but they do not address the specific needs of an individual during an emergency. Individual emergency plans ensure that a person's specific needs are met promptly and effectively, ultimately enhancing their safety and well-being in critical situations.
