Announcement

Extreme weather. Natural disasters. Emergency events are happening with increasing frequency throughout the year, making it more critical than ever to consider the needs of people with disabilities and older adults before, during, and after an emergency. This is why the Association of Assistive Technology Programs (ATAP) and the AT3 Center are releasing a new publication titled Emergency Preparedness and Response: What Community Planners and First Responders Need to Know.

Below is a link to this publication, which is available on the AT3 Center website. We encourage AT Act Programs to share this document with those responsible for planning and responding to emergencies in their state or territory as you observe National Preparedness Month during September.
