NEW Accessible Emergency Information Website
Shared by Marcie Roth, Senior Advisory, Disability Issues
Department of Homeland Security/FEMA
Accessible Emergency Information Website (from FEMA Region VI partners)
www.accessibleemergencyinfo.com.
“The website was funded by the Northeast Texas Public Health District, but they
intentionally did not brand the site so other groups/agencies across the nation could
use it (at no cost) to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in emergency
preparedness and health related topics. On the website are videos with ASL interpreters
advising how to prepare for 18 topics. The videos also have an audible voice over and text
appearing alongside the interpreter. Along with the videos is the Emergency Preparedness
Guide formatted in Braille, large print, and regular font for download. All of the information
is free for public use. To support future improvements of the site, they have included a
discussion page and two surveys for those viewing the information to assess preparedness
levels before and after viewing the material. The intent was to create a website to assist at
risk populations and serve other organizations as a tool to become prepared for all hazards.”
