Emergencies can happen to anyone. But for people with disabilities, the risks are often greater. When emergency plans fail to include everyone, it can result in people being left without access to shelter, transportation, communication, or life-saving services. These are not just oversights—they can become violations of civil rights.

We encourage preparedness because disaster zones are chaotic! The more preparation prior to an emergency, the less chaos and stress. Getting prepared can also be stressful. There are so many things to think about. Having the answers to your questions ahead of time can decrease stress and possibly save lives.
