Join us for a discussion on promoting family and community disaster planning. This discussion will focus on how individuals with disabilities, along with their family, friends, and caregivers can prepare for an emergency or a disaster. Remember…disasters don’t wait! Learn how to make your personal plan TODAY!

Natural disasters, accidents, and tragedies are bound to strike at times. While you can’t avoid them completely, Emergency Preparedness is the easiest way to lessen the damage when something bad happens. From your own planning at home, to dialing into organizations made to help during disasters, we will take a closer look at what you can do to keep yourself and your loved one safe.
