Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the disaster planning of local Offices of Emergency Management (OEM) in FEMA Region 9, focusing on how well they accommodate people with disabilities (PWD).
- Results showed that while some plans addressed PWD needs, detailed procedures and staff training on ADA requirements were lacking, with only 28% of OEMs offering sign language interpreters and 39% allowing personal assistants.
- The findings highlight a need for better training and strategies to improve the inclusiveness of PWD in emergency management phases.
