R4 Connections Webinar Series
Why Access & Functional Needs Should Be Everyone's Priority in Community Preparedness
Date and Time: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. MT
Description: This one-hour webinar will give an overview of the access and functional needs framework in emergency response and explain why it is important to plan for emergencies from a resource perspective rather than labeling people and groups. Participants will learn about examples from Jefferson County Public Health's project to do the following: create an interactive all-staff training, purchase various items to ensure all needs and disabilities are supported, and embed AFN resources not only in the emergency plan but in day-to-day programs. Participants will be able to define access and functional needs and receive replicable examples of how to increase inclusion for AFN accommodations at libraries, organizations, and programs.
Guest Speaker: Allison Wilson, Jefferson County Public Health
