It takes leadership, thought, time and community partnerships for emergency plans to encompass the whole community. When people with disabilities are included in all phases of the disaster cycle and advise to emergency management, they can provide a wealth of information, knowledge and resources. Across the nation more states are developing Disability Advisory Groups which can be utilized to provide cross disability perspectives to offer a holistic approach for local/state emergency management to reach successful disability integration and whole community planning.
The 90-minute webinar will discuss the following:
- The models and approaches used in Idaho and Washington to establish disability advisory groups;
- How disability advisory groups are providing guidance on equal access to effective communication; physical access; access to programs, goods and services and how this applies to emergency management plans;
- How disability advisers to emergency management can work together at the local, state, and federal levels.
Live Closed Captioning will be provided for this webinar.
