Disaster Recovery Support for the Disabled Community
This My Needs Network initiative is a collaborative effort that integrates AI technology, community-based participatory research methodology, and organizational partnerships to improve disaster recovery efforts for people with disabilities.
The purpose of the Disaster Recovery Support System is to improve access to emergency resources and services for individuals and families with disabilities during natural disasters.
In this presentation we will provide an overview of our early designs and plans for the Disaster Recovery Support system. During the second half of the presentation, we invite attendees to participate in our community input forum so that we can learn about your experiences navigating disaster situations with disability considerations. By sharing your family's needs, challenges, and priorities, you'll directly influence how this system develops.
Join us to learn about our preliminary service model and how community feedback will lead to the design and build of a solution that truly addresses the unique emergency needs of families living with disabilities during times of natural disasters.
