Project Description:

The Tarjan Center was awarded a project of National Significance grant by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities that will coordinate the California Consortium for Emergency Preparedness and Developmental Disability to develop an implementation plan to create a one-stop center for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to prepare for and remain intact during an emergency transition. The Consortium includes more than 16 disability and emergency response agencies and policymakers as well as parent advocates and advocates with developmental disabilities. Goals are to establish a online CA training and technical assistance center for Emergency Preparedness and DD, create a coordinated response and interagency situations, and develop an effective approach for providing individualized support to 60 individuals with DD and families.
