Disability & Elderly Emergency Management

North Carolina
Disability & Elderly Emergency Management Initiative

The Disability & Elderly Emergency Management (DEEM) Initiative, a multi-agency endeavor, was developed to strengthen the emergency preparedness and response for people with disabilities and the elderly living in North Carolina. We want to build a State Plan for enhancing North Carolina's ability to respond to the emergency management needs of persons with disabilities and the elderly prior to, during, and following man-made or natural disasters.
