Emergency Management and Crisis Intervention Team Training
In the event of a disaster could you make it on your own for several days?
Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning, forcing people to quickly leave their homes or be confined there unexpectedly. For the millions of Americans who have disabilities, emergencies such as fires, floods and tornadoes present a real challenge.
The Ready Campaign
The Ready Campaign is a national public service campaign designed to educate and empower the American people to prepare for, respond to and lessen the impact of emergencies, including natural and man-made disasters.
