Reaching the Whole Community

Introduction

True preparedness includes the whole of a community.  This includes those populations that have cultural, language, or other natural barriers to regular communication channels.  Here are some resources to help ensure these demographics are part of any plan.

We welcome suggestions for the Portal! If you find a good preparedness tool, please email it to citizencorps@dhs.gov.

We encourage the use of websites that are accessible to people with access and functional needs. For guidance on creating Section 508 compliant online materials refer to the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards. For further information on emergency management and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, please review this webinar from the Citizen Corps Community Preparedness Webinar Series.
