Description

Consideration of the needs of people with disabilities in the context of disaster/emergency planning is a relatively recent development in emergency management. Planning for citizens with functional needs who may require accommodations now routinely includes service providers and agencies with responsibility for people with disabilities. This poster describes how our program prepares people with disabilities to be part of the solution in emergency management.
