The Clean Coalition is a supporting organization of this webinar, hosted by the SLO Climate Coalition.
We all know people with disabilities – friends, family members, neighbors – and understand their vulnerability in emergency situations. This webinar will focus on how they can best be accommodated relative to climate change and disasters. What policies are in place? What services are available? How are they accessed? What more needs to be done?
