REAADI for Disasters Act
The REAADI for Disasters Act improves disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation for individuals with disabilities and older adults (age 50+), who face higher risks during disasters. It requires accessible communications (including American Sign Language, captions, and plain language), inclusive advisory committees in disaster planning, and accessible shelters and facilities. The bill also mandates that crisis standards of care during disasters comply with civil rights laws and funds training centers to support disability-inclusive disaster management practices.
