After the 2005 hurricanes and floods, Advocacy Center adopted emergency preparedness for people with disabilities as one of its major priorities. Having witnessed the complete lack of accommodation for people with disabilities during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, AC resolved that the next time disaster struck Louisiana, people with disabilities would receive the supports they need.
Do you have questions about the work of the Advocacy Center, our priorities for 2012, or thoughts to share? Lois Simpson, AC's Executive Director, will be answering your questions and listening to your ideas on Wednesday, Sept. 14th from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm and Monday, Sept. 19th from 3:00 pm -4:00 pm.
