The American National Standards Institute Homeland Security Standards Panel last week published a report on proposed standards for emergency preparedness for people with disabilities. The report, which you can find here, takes into account real life examples from a recent conference on the topic held at Gallaudet University.

What are your thoughts on the report? Have we done enough, as a country, to be full prepared for emergencies – including providing adequate resources for Americans with disabilities and special needs? What do you think are the next steps for us to be full prepared?

I do not think there is enough preparedness for anyone.

In America, we are often so fickle. We want everything ready for a disaster but we do not want to be bothered with preparing for the disaster.

and, in all honesty no one can be prepared for any and every unseen event.
