Our Mission
The mission of this research is to
investigate 30 randomly selected counties, cities, or boroughs in the
United States that have recently experienced a natural or man-made disaster
in order to:
-
Determine if disaster plans and emergency
response systems for homes, businesses, and the community include
the health, safety, and survival needs for persons with mobility
impairment
-
Identify the morbidity and mortality of persons
with mobility impairments in these disasters
-
Assess if there were any post-disaster changes
to address the needs of persons with mobility impairments
-
Identify emerging or Best Practices models for
counties to assist in disaster plans and emergency responses to
meet the needs of persons with mobility impairments in hopes of
preventing injuries, saving lives, and assuring Nobody
is Left Behind

The
Nobody Left Behind staff want to express our deep concern
for the loss of life and the devastation caused by Hurricane
Katrina. |
