ASTHO.ORG: Protecting the Vulnerable: How Public Health Can Better Serve People with Disabilities
People living with disabilities have felt the burden way more than the general population in past emergency situations due to inequities in preparedness and response. To address and prevent inequities in the COVID-19 response, ASTHO placed 14 disability and preparedness specialists into health agencies around the country to promote inclusivity of people living with disabilities.
On this podcast, they explore ways that two of these disability and preparedness specialists have worked to address the needs of people living with disabilities in their areas. Experts share their drive for this work and what their states are doing to promote equity for people living with disabilities.
