Be part of this ongoing and inclusive effort to center the needs and voices of the Disabled community in Pulaski County. 🌻🩼🦼🧏🏼

This is an anonymous survey created by the Lake Cumberland Diversity Collective to help us understand and educate people in our area about the needs of Disabled community members and disaster preparedness. You do not have to share any identifying information unless you wish to. All questions are optional so you do not have to answer anything you are not comfortable with.

This survey is intended for Disabled people to complete. If you are a caregiver or parent of a Disabled child, please mark as such on question two, and collaborate with the person you are supporting to share the answers that they feel most describe them and their needs.

Attention all disabled self advocates and community members in Pulaski County who identify as part of the Disabled and/or Deaf community!

Lake Cumberland Diversity Collective is sponsoring and hosting alongside Hope of KY, Somerset Junior Woman's Club, and Goodwill Opportunity Center - Somerset a panel discussion on Disaster Preparedness for Persons with Disabilities.

Thursday, August 7th
1 pm EST
Goodwill Opportunity Center - Somerset
2305 South Highway 27 Suite B
Somerset, Kentucky 42503

While there will be guest speakers from the Lake Cumberland District Health Department, Pulaski County Emergency Management, and University of Kentucky, Lake Cumberland Diversity Collective also knows that for our Disabled community there is nothing about you without you!

Therefore, we need your perspectives and innovations around disaster preparedness. And as you share your accommodations and needs, please know that Lake Cumberland Diversity Collective wants to collaborate and work with you, not "fix," present at, and/or speak over you.

A table will be set up for collecting information for follow-up and to aid in signing up for the "Moore Safe Nights" A Virginia Moore Legacy Project: A Weather Radio Distribution Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Kentuckians made possible by a partnership between the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Kentucky Emergency Management.

American Sign Language(ASL) interpreting will be provided in partnership with Interpreting Service of The Commonwealth, LLC.
