- Over 60 million adults in the United States have a substantial impairment that limits a significant life activity, and the percentage of people living with a disability is highest in the South. According to the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, people with disabilities are 2-to-4 times more likely to die or be injured in climate-driven emergencies when compared to people who do not have a disability. This session explores essential elements of accessibility and inclusive planning in disaster preparedness, response, and short-term and long-term recovery. Experts from Texas, Florida, Louisiana, and California share takeaways from their experiences working with disaster survivors and discuss what attendees can do in their communities to ensure equitable recovery outcomes.
Panelists:
• Bryan Russell, Emergency Management Coordinator , Disability Rights Florida
• Jordan Davis, Equal Justice Works Disaster Resilience Fellow, Disability Rights California
• Sarah Bacot, Equal Justice Works Disaster Resilience Fellow, Disability Rights Louisiana
• Stephanie Duke, Attorney, Disability Rights Texas (moderator)
