The next Illinois Disability Rights Consortium meeting will take place on Wednesday December 6, 2017 from 9:30-11:00 (ct) at Equip for Equality (20 N. Michigan, Suite 300 in Chicago).
Given the numerous recent weather and gun-related emergencies, we thought having a session on the intersection of disability and emergency preparedness would be timely. I will start the session by reviewing how the ADA has been used to ensure that people with disabilities are included in emergency preparedness plans by municipalities and schools. And then Laurie Dittman, Senior Policy Analyst for the Chicago Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, will provide an update on the work of the City of Chicago on emergency preparedness and people with disabilities.
Continuing legal education credit will be provided for attorneys in attendance. A captioner will be present for the meeting. If you need any other accommodations to participate in the meeting, please email by November 29.
To participate remotely, you can call: 800-910-8278 and then enter code: 1940990.
