Today, June 1, marks the start of Atlantic Hurricane Season. For disabled people, preparedness is about much more than just stocking up supplies. For many it means making sure our CMIST needs can still be met when disasters hit!

The strongest preparedness tool is community. Build connections now, before they are needed. If you need disability-related disaster assistance before, during, or after a disaster, contact the U.S. Disability & Disaster Hotline: 800-626-4959 #HurricaneSeason #DisabilityJustice
