The Coalition works to ensure accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities and other marginalized populations is built into all aspects of emergency management.
CIEP's work is critical, because people with disabilities or other access or functional needs are 4 times more likely to be severely injured or die from a disaster. Being prepared is key.
We collaborate with and advise:
- Government agencies
- Nonprofit organizations
- Emergency managers/planners
- Businesses
- Individuals and community groups
Participation in CIEP is open to all organizations and individuals. We hold monthly calls the first Wednesday of the month from 10-11 a.m. over Zoom.
To receive news, meeting notices and alerts, sign up to be on the CIEP email list.

If you have questions about CIEP and how to get involved, contact Jim House, Disability Integration Manager.
