Any community can become isolated during a disaster even if they aren’t directly impacted. Through a historical perspective and actual disaster experiences, three FEMA Regional Disability Integration Specialists will look at:

  • The realities of disaster impacts on systems which may already be stretched thin even during regular daily existence;
  • How community partners can play a role in both response and recovery; and
  • How to identify real shortfalls in plans and actual events.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand the recovery processes for people with access and functional needs (especially people with disabilities) from recent disasters

Presenters:

Roxann Crawford, FEMA Region IX Disability Integration Specialist.

Michael Houston, FEMA Region VIII Disability Integration Specialist.

Danielle Bailey, FEMA Region X Disability Integration Specialist.
