In this first part of a two-part special, I Introduce this issue with sobering facts and tips for preparedness from my Disability & Disaster—How To Prepare, Navigate, Thrive! blog entry at my website, Urban Lady Prepper.
I then introduce two remarkable women with disabilities, Nicole and Cassandra. They describe their challenges and achievements honestly while navigating daily life. In these conversations, we realize that we have a long way to go as a society to ensure those with limitations receive the attention and resources they need during a disaster.
Nicole Adamonis is a professional esthetician, Reiki Master, and yoga teacher with a weekly online class sensitive to those with physical limitations. Visit her website for more information.
Cassandra is a full-time worker with three children with disabilities. She is creating a podcast that focuses on issues facing the disabled. I will provide the information once it is launched.
I thank these ladies for their time and appreciate their strength and sincerity. You will too!
