> Topic – Do you have an emergency plan in place?  Do you know what resources are available in the community to help you develop a plan for yourself and your family?  As a person with a disability, what should you know before a disaster happens to ensure your needs are met?  What about your guide or service dog during a disaster?  Join us at this month’s NFBV Fairfax Chapter meeting and learn the answers to these questions and much more to help you and your family be prepared in an emergency.
