Whole Community: Responding to the Disabilities and Access and Functional Needs Community Wednesday February 5, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET

 

Responding to the Disabilities and Access and Functional Needs Community

Wednesday February 5, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET 

Please join FEMA Region 2 in partnership with the National CERT Association (NCA) and California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for a webinar discussion about Responding to the Disabilities and Access and Functional Needs Community.

During this presentation, attendees will learn about how New Jersey has embraced the whole community philosophy by engaging people with disabilities and access and functional needs (DAFN) in its CERT program. By starting at the municipal level, these CERTs help improve and enhance emergency preparedness and response efforts—from helping individuals with DAFN create personal preparedness plans to ensuring accessibility is restored following disasters. Strategies on how to best involve and serve individuals with DAFN in relation to the CERT program in other States will be discussed.

Who should attend? Local, State, Federal government, Community and Faith-based Organizations, Emergency Managers, CERT Leads, Program Managers and volunteers.
