Disaster preparedness illustrations for the developementaly challenged

I was commissioned to do a series of illustrated pages for developmentally challenged adults who are living on their own showing what to do in case of an emergency. The emergency scenarios varied from natural disasters such as flooding to man made disasters like terrorism. The challenge for me came not from the sequential aspect of the illustrations, but from the direction that I was not to use any words. The illustrations had to instruct the viewer what to do through the images only. I had fun working on this project and hope it helps people out there who might use it.
