Targeting housing mitigation activities to support your community’s most vulnerable populations can allow persons with special needs to shelter in place during and after a disaster. Strengthening a home’s ability to withstand hazards prior to a disaster occurring can help persons with special needs shelter in place, removing the additional obstacles of registering for shelter, securing transportation, evacuating, and then subsequently facing the reality of not being able to quickly return home to receive services, access medications, or retrieve mobility aids. This webinar will discuss how to ensure the most at-risk residents are identified and mitigation efforts are targeted to support sheltering in place in preparation for the next disaster.
