This is a new monthly virtual statewide meet-up where organizations can come together and share resources, brainstorm new ideas, and discuss ways to strengthen emergency preparedness within the disability community. This collaborative space will focus on fostering resilience, mutual support, and proactive planning for access and inclusion before, during, and after emergencies. Together, we can build collective strategies to ensure the needs of disabled individuals are met in all stages of emergency readiness.
