Emergency Management Disability Awareness Trainings

Niagara University Emergency Management Disability Awareness Training received a grant from the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council.  The goal of this initiative is to build the capacity of individuals with developmental disabilities and their caregivers to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters.  The program from Niagara University brings together the disability community and those with a role in disaster emergency response with the intent to educate on all matters related to proper response for those with disabilities and access and functional needs.  Designed to address inclusive planning, preparedness, response, and recovery as it relates to people with disabilities and access and functional needs, NU DAT defines the topic as regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act and established by FEMA.

During the first year of this initiative (FY21), virtual trainings were hosted to introduce Louisianans to the program developed by Niagara University. In FY22, Niagara will be offering two in-person training sessions. This site will be updated as sessions are scheduled.
