About

The website describes emergency preparedness services offered by the Center for Inclusive Design and Engineering (CIDE) at CU Denver. It includes resources and training to help people, especially those with disabilities, prepare for emergencies. The services cover making emergency plans, creating "Go Kits," using backup power systems like EcoFlow batteries, and understanding the CMIST framework (Communication, Medical needs, Independence support, Safety & Support). The program also offers courses on how to respond during disasters and provides information about battery features and charging options. Additionally, it highlights the importance of communication in emergencies.
