Emergency preparedness event for disabled set for Athens
A meeting on emergency preparedness for the disabled will be held 10 a.m. to noon March 23 at the Athens-Clarke County Library on Baxter Street.
The educational meeting is a partnership event with the Georgia Advocacy Office (GAO) and the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities.
Similar meetings are being held statewide to provide information to those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
"Emergencies happen every day. We want to hear from the community and learn what you consider an emergency, how you prepare for it and what supports you need or barriers you encounter,” said Naomi Williams of Exceptional Living 101, an organization aided by a grant from the GAO.
The event is free, but people are asked to register. Call 706-426-1936 for more information.
