Excerpt:
[Annie] Harkins is developing guidance for local and state emergency managers on how the ADA applies to emergency preparedness, response and recovery initiatives. This includes accessible emergency shelters and temporary housing, emergency notifications and signage capable of alerting individuals with vision or hearing impairments, accommodations for service animals in emergency shelters and accessible public evacuation transportation.
When emergencies of all kinds make headlines, local and national reporters frequently ask CHHS staff to explain and interpret a myriad of complicated issues – and to do so in a way that everyone can understand. Our experienced attorneys and analysts are an invaluable resource for members of the media looking for background, live interviews, and everything in between.
