Middlesex and Union Core Advisory Groups (CAG) have joined forces!
Are you a disabled and a resident of Middlesex or Union County? Are you concerned about disasters and recovery?
A disaster can happen at any time! This is a great opportunity to work together with emergency managers to make effective changes in how emergency services are provided to people with disabilities and access and functional needs in Middlesex and Union Counties.
There have been a lot of discussions about the movie Leave The World Behind, which is about a cyberattack that shuts down all the country's power. While this movie is a fictional account of what could happen, it does raise questions on how prepared we are. Eric Martin, Middlesex County CERT Coordinator, will be joining us for the meeting in May to go over tips on how to prepare and shelter in place in the event the power grid is interrupted.
Light refreshments will be served.
The purpose of this group is to...
Promote inclusive emergency management by encouraging collaboration and partnership between community disability stakeholder and emergency managers.
Identify emergency management challenges facing people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs before, during and after a disaster.
Develop strategies to build resilience in the disability community.
The Middlesex County CAG was formed in 2015 and was the first CAG in New Jersey.
