The Disabled, Officials Meet to Discuss Disaster Preparedness | Florida


Posted on Jun 11, 2009

When disaster strikes Florida most people think of homeowners losing their houses or people being displaced for a few weeks.  However, natural disasters most often affect people with special needs.

AbilityFirst was the host of an event that aims to help the elderly, disabled and their caregivers reach safety in the event of a disaster.  The event was sponsored by the Florida Department of Health and the Florida Disability Task Force.

Both government officials and volunteers used the opportunity to meet with one another and those with special needs to ensure that a plan is in place and that nobody is left alone in the event of a disaster.

Judith Barrett is the executive director of AbilityFirst and is hopeful that the conference will be beneficial to both officials and those in need of extra assistance, "This conference will give us the opportunity to interact with different groups dedicated to serving the disabled and the elderly.  We're going to really focus on how to empower these folks and keep them safe in the event of a natural disaster."

The event was free and open to residents of Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Madison, Taylor and Wakulla counties.

If you are disabled and need help filing for and winning your disability claim please contact the attorneys at LaVan & Neidenberg today for your free consultation.
