For People with Disabilities and Others with Access and Functional Needs
Planning for emergencies and disasters is an important part of taking care of yourself and those around you. Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning. Having an emergency preparedness plan, emergency supply kit, and a support network can reduce the fear and anxiety that accompany emergencies and disasters.
