General Information

The Midwest Partners in Preparedness Conference will bring together emergency management and disability stakeholders from states throughout the Midwest to discuss the latest issues in preparing and responding to disability communities during emergencies and disasters.

This day and a half conference is hosted by enableUS and the Community Emergency Preparedness Information Network (CEPIN) and will examine some of the greatest challenges that emergency management and disability communities face when responding to disasters and emergencies. The conference will focus on new FEMA sheltering guidelines, regional issues such as ice storms, flooding and tornados as well as the effectiveness of special needs registries, information sharing networks and accessible communications. Speakers from national, state and local government agencies and organizations will focus on programs that have worked in their communities as well as continued shortfalls and challenges that they experience.

Through networking breaks between each phase, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with speakers and other attendees to exchange information about best practices and share personal experiences fostering an environment of cooperation and education.
