Evacuating People with Disabilities

One of the more common functions we as emergency managers perform is issuing warnings and ordering evacuations of people who are in dangers way.  With that function being common, one particular area that I suggest almost everyone has a challenge with is assisting with the evacuation of people with disabilities. See this excellent piece that appeared in CNN the other day, Opinion: Many people can’t physically flee disasters. Too often, we fail to help them

I highly recommend it to you. Just because it is difficult to accomplish, does not mean we should not be working together to find solutions.
