People with Disabilities are Not Innately Vulnerable (Part 27)

But when they are left out of the adaptation planning process — the consequences can be disastrous
Dietz is proud of the efforts her state is making to do a better job, saying “Hopefully the horrific stories of the last few years will be less and less.”

“This is a fresh opportunity to do it right, to look at building and the environment through a more enlightened lens,” she said. 

“You’re forced to create new housing, new means of transportation — think of it as a path to building in a more inclusive way that is accessible to everyone. 

Think about people with disabilities before you start your big project.

Bring them to the table, work toward universal design.”
