PUBLIC SAFETY & DISABILITY
June 1st, 2021 Time: 6:00PM - 8:00PM ONLINE: ZOOM Barriers to information, health care, technology, employment, housing, recreation, education, and transportation are a daily fact of life for most individuals with disabilities. These barriers intensify during emergencies and it is important to understand the unique challenges impacting the disability community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
