Emergency Preparedness Resources [1]

Being prepared for emergencies of any kind often comes down to planning and anticipating yours and your family’s needs when daily life gets disrupted. As a disaster can dramatically affect your activities, personal emergency preparedness is essential.

This page offers a selection of emergency preparedness and responses resources, including ones for people with disabilities.

You may also reach out to your ADA Regional Center [2] to obtain specific information about emergency preparedness in your region.
