Disaster Preparedness for the Disability Community

Preparing for emergencies is especially important for individuals with disabilities, families, caregivers, and the organizations that support them.

VIUCEDD provides information related to disaster preparedness as part of its information and community-focused activities.

Access to Information

Information dissemination is one of VIUCEDD’s four core functions.

Making preparedness information available in accessible formats helps ensure individuals with developmental disabilities, families, caregivers, professionals, and community members can access important information.

Accessible Preparedness Resources

VIUCEDD is committed to making digital information accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Resources made available through the redesigned VIUCEDD website are being developed with accessibility in mind, including screen reader interoperability, keyboard navigation, accessible text structures, and appropriate visual contrast.
