REAADI for Disasters Act
The REAADI for Disasters Act aims to improve inclusion of individuals with disabilities and older adults in all phases of disaster management. It requires accessible communication (including American Sign Language, captions, and plain language), accessible shelters, and ensures these individuals are included in planning and decision-making processes. The bill establishes a Disaster Human Services Emergency Fund to rapidly respond to human services needs during disasters, and creates training centers to provide disability-inclusive emergency management expertise. It mandates compliance with disability laws and requires centers for independent living to be involved in disaster planning and response.
