Please join the Region II National Preparedness Division for a webinar to learn how people who rely on electricity- and battery-dependent assistive technology and durable medical equipment can prepare for emergencies.  
Subject matter experts will offer emergency preparedness tips and resources, including checklists, to assist in planning for a power outage. They will also provide guidance on how people with disabilities and access and functional needs (AFN) can prepare for extreme heat events. 

Who should attend this webinar? Individuals who are power dependent, their caretakers, and organizations that provide services to this aspect of the AFN community. 

FEMA works to ensure equitable access for all to any services and programs that are provided by the agency. If you need a reasonable accommodation, please make your request in an email to fema-r2-prepares@fema.dhs.gov. Last minute requests will be accepted, but may not be possible to fulfill.
