Join the next EPIC Webinar – TOMORROW November 28, 2018

Addressing the Needs of People with Disabilities in Public Health Emergencies

Overview

Public health emergencies can be dangerous and challenging, especially for people with disabilities. Communicators may have trouble reaching them. Caretakers may find it difficult to help them evacuate or get to a healthcare provider. Their health may be more severely affected by the emergency. Please join CDC’s Cindy Hinton and the CDC EPIC Team for a discussion on how community leaders, community members, emergency response workers, and caretakers can plan ahead to lessen the harm of emergencies on people with disabilities. The webinar will be held on November 28 at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Closed-captioning will be available.
