About

This handbook helps healthcare facilities manage during disasters. It also explains free online training from HHS/ASPR for helping older adults and people with access and functional needs in emergencies. The trainings teach responders how to support groups like seniors, children, people with disabilities, or those who need extra help during disasters. It highlights the importance of planning for everyone’s safety and following laws that protect against discrimination in emergency situations.
