Hurricane Harvey hit the Houston area about one year ago. In this presentation, Maria Town of the Houston Mayor's Office on Disability takes a look back at the inclusive planning Houston has done in preparing for emergencies, the success of the planning during the event, and the recovery issues for people with disabilities. She will also review response tools that were unsuccessful during the hurricane and look at new ones that can impact readiness, preparedness, and resiliency.
