Approximately half of all Americans have access and/or functional needs – and these people are more likely to suffer from the impacts of climate-related disasters. But there is a free online course you can take now to help you better meet their needs when disaster strikes. People with access and functional needs include, but are not limited to: children, pregnant women, older adults, people with disabilities, limited English proficiency, limited access to transportation, limited financial resources, people experiencing homelessness, people who have chronic health conditions, pharmacological dependency, and people from diverse cultures. People with AFN have different needs that must be met on a daily basis, and must continue to be met during and after a disaster. Take ASPR’s Access and Functional Needs Web-Based Training to be prepared to assist to meet those needs during and after disasters. https://lnkd.in/gEzZ8Sb4 #NCA5
