Functional Needs The term “functional needs” refers to the millions of Americans who have physical, medical, sensory or cognitive disabilities. The same challenges apply to the elderly and other special needs populations. All individuals and families should take the time before a disaster to plan for survival at home, in an emergency shelter, or elsewhere in the event of an actual emergency. Here are some good sources of information to help you in your planning:
