在自然和人为灾害期间，使用辅助和替代通信的人面临着独特的挑战。2017年，当飓风哈维、玛丽亚和伊尔玛来袭时，在灾难的各个阶段，解决这一群体的即时和长期需求的必要性变得显而易见。这篇临床焦点文章的目的是讨论
美国辅助和替代交流协会救灾委员会
倡议;在灾难发生之前、期间和之后，获得家庭对备灾的看法;并为语言病理学家和其他专业人员提供建议，以提高使用AAC的人的备灾能力。
通过电子邮件向在哈维飓风期间请求审计咨询委员会援助的20人分发了一份调查报告。共有13人完成了10个问题的调查，回复率为65%。
最突出的调查结果表明，使用AAC的人及其家人在灾害发生前没有做好准备，在灾害发生期间和之后也没有必要的资源。救灾委员会利用这些调查结果制定备灾举措。
本文讨论了一个基于文本的工具包，该工具包旨在加强灾难准备工作，并为语音语言病理学家和其他专业人士提供了有关如何帮助使用AAC的客户为灾难做好准备并掌握必要的词汇在灾难情况下进行有效沟通的建议。
People who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) face unique challenges during natural and man-made disasters. When Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma struck in 2017, the need to address the immediate and longer term needs of this group during all stages of the disaster became apparent. The purposes of this clinical focus article are to discuss the
United States Society of Augmentative and Alternative Communication Disaster Relief Committee
initiatives; obtain the perspectives of families on disaster preparedness before, during, and after the disaster; and provide recommendations for speech-language pathologists and other professionals to increase disaster preparedness for people who use AAC.
A survey was disseminated via e-mail to 20 people who requested AAC assistance during Hurricane Harvey. A total of 13 people completed the 10-question survey for a response rate of 65%.
The most salient findings indicated that people who use AAC and their families were unprepared prior to the disaster and did not have the necessary resources during and after the disaster. The Disaster Relief Committee used these findings to create disaster preparedness initiatives.
This article discusses a text-based toolkit developed to increase disaster preparedness and provides recommendations for speech-language pathologists and other professionals on how to help clients who use AAC prepare for disasters and have the necessary vocabulary to communicate effectively during disaster situations.
