Mags,

I couldn't find your direct email addy (my address book is down), but I thought you might be interested in this as you're with an advocacy group in the Bay Area.  Feel free to pass it on to whomever you feel might be appropriate.

Thanks!

(BTW - "iaem" stands for "International Association of Emergency Managers")

Subject: [iaem-list] Survey Participants Needed


IAEM Discussion Group:

The National Organization on Disability's (NOD) Emergency Preparedness Initiative (EPI) is currently carrying out a survey project funded through FEMA.  We are surveying emergency managers and executives from disability organizations from four regions in the country: Bay Area, California; New York/New Jersey; Norfolk, VA; and Hawaii.  The survey asks several questions about emergency planning that specifically cover disability-related issues and how they are being incorporated into your emergency plans at the local level.  The information will be used to identify successes, challenges, and gaps that jurisdictions are facing and to develop tools, such as checklists, to support this work.   The survey is 20 minutes.

We need your support.  We are still trying to identify people to interview in these regions - particularly in Norfolk, Virginia and Hawaii.  If you are from these areas, or know people in the area who you believe would be appropriate to participate, we would appreciate if you could contact us ASAP.  Please email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or reply to this email.  You can also call Rebecca Hansen who is the project manager at 718-330-0034.

I thank you in advance for your support.
Hilary Styron
