Emergency Preparedness Resources for People with Disabilities

The University of Cincinnati Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCCEDD) has created emergency prepared resources for people with disabilities, caregivers, and first responders. 

This initiative provides insight into local hazards and how people living with disabilities can best prepare for them, as well as best practices surrounding disaster preparations and planning.
