Hi Everyone:

 

I just received this important e-mail last week Friday from Debbra Jackson
of Disability & Communication Access Board (DCAB), and wanted to share it
with you all.  

 

I did call Ms. Jackson this morning, to ask her if it was alright for me to
forward this e-mail to others, and she said that it was okay.

 

I would appreciate if you could share this information with others who might
want to participate in the webinar.

 

Aloha,

 

Donald

Often one of the most difficult issues in a coming emergency or disaster is
the evacuation and transportation of people with disabilities. This
presentation will discuss the access and functional needs issues that must
be considered by individuals, jurisdictions, emergency managers, and

emergencies. Gap analysis tools will be shared and a review of resources
