title: Emergency planning for technology-assisted children.
abstract: Development of emergency systems is essential to ensure a safe home environment for technology-assisted children. Defined as combinations of circumstances or the resulting states that call for immediate action, assistance, or relief, emergencies may arise related to health, equipment, or environmental situations. Based on the philosophy that emergency services should be planned in advance of emergencies for technology-supported individuals, systems for each area of planning are outlined.
