Subject: [blindlaw] Link of CNN on Emergency Preparedness: Community
Dialogues?

Colleagues:


Marcie Roth, Director of FEMA's Office of Disability Integration and
Coordination, would like to share the link to CNN.com below with you all
regarding a largely overlooked report issued this month.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction found that the crucial
needs of about 1 billion people living with physical and mental disabilities
around the world are not woven into the disaster planning and emergency
response plans of governments and civil society groups.

I worked with the Maryland Department of Disabilities in the past on this
issue. Notably, there is a need to restart policy work from a disability
focus on the access of people with disabilities to emergency preparedness,
response, and mitigation; this is especially in light of the recently
enacted federal legislation requiring accessible notifications.

A stakeholder community dialogue, facilitated by the Mid-Atlantic Lyceum,
might be convened.

For more on this report please consult:
