Emergency Equipment Distribution Center
People with disabilities and older people in Louisiana are forced to leave wheelchairs, hospital beds, walkers, canes, communication devices, adapted computers, CCTVs, hearing aids and other types of medical equipment and assistive technology when they evacuate in emergency situations such as tornados, hurricanes and fires. Others find themselves in need of such devices due to illness and injury resulting from the emergency situation.

The Louisiana Assistive Technology Access Network (LATAN) is operating an Equipment Distribution Program to distribute equipment to the individuals who need the devices.

If you are in need of equipment, call 800.270.6185 or in Baton Rouge 925-9500 or email mhebert@latan.org. LATAN is currently accepting requests for equipment needs from individuals who've had to evacuate their homes due to emergency situations. We cannot provide specialized equipment but will try to provide suitable temporary equipment to be used until the appropriate equipment can be obtained. Find out more...
