Emergency preparedness is vital for all residents, but for individuals with disabilities, it can involve unique challenges and considerations. Our free, hands-on workshops are designed to help individuals with disabilities and their caregivers prepare for emergencies by offering practical guidance, local resources, and personalized support. These trainings are offered at no charge and are provided to the community as part of Disability Access Solutions’ contract with the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP).
Through presentations, breakout sessions, and one-on-one assistance, participants will have the opportunity to:
Learn about disability-specific challenges in emergency situations.
Explore local disaster resources available in their region.
Begin creating a personal emergency preparedness plan.
