When it comes to emergency planning, the District takes a
whole community approach that engages individuals with disabilities and
others with access and functional needs (DAFN) before, during and after an
emergency. We embrace the disability community’s saying, “Nothing about
us, without us,” and look forward to discussing the community's needs and
challenges.
In honor of National Preparedness Month, please join us on
September 26, 2019 for the District Government and Disability Community's
Inaugural Emergency Preparedness Summit. The Summit will launch the
Outreach and Engagement component of the District’s Emergency Preparedness
Disability Integration Initiative (EPDII.)
