Abstract:
The Center for Disabilities Studies (CDS) at the University of Delaware will conduct a one-year effort to advance the work that has already begun in two ways. First, they will build on the momentum of the existing planning group by delving more deeply into the issues, determining how best to invest resources in solutions the group has identified and advocating for law and policy changes to ensure that the need if individuals with developmental disabilities are addressed during emergency circumstances. CDS will also work in conjunction with neighboring jurisdictions (specifically, Maryland and the District of Columbia) to devise regional approaches to emergency planning and management that accommodate the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
