Workshop: Emergency Preparedness for Persons with Disabilities and Special NeedsKellogg Conference Hotel, Washington, DC
The ANSI-HSSP, in collaboration with the National Organization on Disability (NOD) Emergency Preparedness Initiative (EPI) and the NFPA Disability Access Review and Advisory Committee (DARAC), is launching a new Workshop to examine existing and/or needed standards for Emergency Preparedness for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs. This is an issue that has been raised in many of the previous ANSI-HSSP Workshops and Plenary meetings, leading to the decision to have a focused Workshop devoted entirely to this important subject area. This kick-off event will consist of a targeted group of experts, including the members of DARAC and those involved with the NOD EPI, working to identify what standards currently exist and in what areas new standards need to be developed, followed by actionable recommendations for the timely development of standards in the identified needs areas. Any ANSI-HSSP members who are interested in participating in this new Workshop, or have suggestions on individuals/organizations that should be extended an invite, are encouraged to contact Matt Deane at your earliest convenience.
