An important function of state and local governments is to help people
prepare for and respond to emergencies. Making sure that state and local
government emergency preparedness and response programs are accessible to
people with disabilities is a critical part of this responsibility during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) requires that state and local government programs and services are
fully accessible and available to people with disabilities. Join us for
this informative episode to learn about emergency preparedness and the ADA
with our guest Robbie Kopp, Director of Advocacy and Community Access for
ABLE South Carolina. and address questions and concerns about what going to
school may look like during the pandemic and into the future.

*Plan. Prepare. Respond.*

   - Make a list and keep important supplies with you.
   - Identify where you could go to shelter safely.
   - Listen and follow local news, weather reports, and social media.

***Keep in mind*

You may need to adjust your emergency plan, supplies and actions based on
the latest from your state, local officials and guidance from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends
who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind. Every day we
work together to help blind people live the lives they want.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
