http://www.nod.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=1564 Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, NOD launched the Emergency Preparedness Initiative (EPI) to ensure that emergency managers address disability concerns and that people with disabilities are included in all levels of emergency preparedness including planning, response, and recovery.
EPI has since become a nationally recognized leader in emergency preparedness for people with disabilities and special needs through the delivery of national outreach, education, and awareness programs. Additionally, EPI offers training programs to ensure that preparedness officials across the country include people with disabilities in their emergency planning, preparation, response and recovery activities at the community level. EPI works to ensure that people with disabilities take an active role in emergency plan development and practice before, during, and after emergencies.
