FEMA Promising Practices: Preparedness for People with Chemical Sensitivity and People with Developmental Disabilities

10th September, 2015

This webinar will cover important aspects of consideration during the proactive development and implementation of a disaster plan for people with developmental disabilities and for those with respiratory concerns. It will cover the specific needs of those particular members of the community and how these two programs developed necessary steps to ensure the timely delivery of medical supplies, considerations for travel (public or private), where and how to make contact with appropriate parties, and how to prepare a travel kit.

Learning objectives:

• Identify the respiratory needs of the individual.
• Learn how to and implement travel plans.
• Learn how the staff and clients of Becoming Independent, a program serving intellectually challenged individuals, embraced preparedness and successfully responded to the 2014 Napa earthquake.

These 90 minute webinars are delivered by the Pacific ADA Center using the Blackboard Collaborate webinar platform. All sessions will be captioned, recorded and archived.
