The National Capital Region, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Organization on Disability, held a Conference on Emergency Preparedness for People with Disabilities at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia on September 22-24, 2004. The National Capital Region's goal in hosting the Conference on Emergency Preparedness for People with Disabilities is to facilitate the exchange of information and dialogue between emergency response agencies regarding emergency preparedness for people with disabilities. By providing an opportunity for exchange of experiences and effective practices, regional leaders intend to enhance emergency preparedness programs with respect to people with disabilities and empower them to take active roles in preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives.
