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.
