COURSE NAME: EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS

Weeks Five–Persons with Disabilities and Disasters

Introduction

When most people think of special needs populations, the group that enters their mind is the disabled. Current terminology calls this group “persons with disabilities.” FEMA has changed the term to “Access and Functional Needs” and covers much more than traditional disabilities.

Objectives:

  • Discuss sheltering needs for special needs populations.
  • Think about changes you make for persons with disability if you had the power to do so.
  • Discuss what you think “Nobody left behind” means for persons with disability.

Reminders:

  • Chat 1 – TBD
  • FEMA IS 20.12 – Diversity Awareness
