BCCPD Presents at Annual Emergency Preparedness Conference

December 7, 2011 by DABC

The BC Coalition of People with Disabilities was invited to speak at the annual Emergency Preparedness Conference held in Vancouver on November 29, 2011. The BCCPD gave a one-hour session on our community emergency preparedness training for people with disabilities. Sixty-six delegates from the emergency management sector attended the session. We received excellent feedback an a lot of interest in our project.
