Target audience: Individuals with disabilities and organizations that serve them.



Community preparedness planning for COVID-19 should include older adults and people with disabilities, as well as the organizations that support them. The majority of people with disabilities live in the community, and many depend on receiving services and supports in their home in order to maintain their health and independence. This webinar will give an overview of how best to include people with disabilities in emergency preparedness, as well as provide information on resources for people in the community.

Dr. Laura Stough is Assistant Director at the Center on Disability and Development, Dr. Harrison is Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Amy Sharp, Executive Director at the Texas Center for Disability Studies and Emily Wolinsky is founder and Executive Director of NMD United
