Access to Independence scheduled an Oct. 21 workshop in Mission Valley to help participants build emergency plans around their own circumstances. The session was listed for 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the organization's conference room, 8885 Rio San Diego Drive, Unit 135. Workshop listing.
The program focused on needs that can complicate a standard evacuation or power-outage checklist: access to medication, mobility equipment, reliable communication and assistance during an emergency.
Program manager Diana Peloso was listed as the organizer and contact. The announced goal was a personal plan that accounts for those practical requirements rather than treating preparedness as a single set of instructions suitable for everyone.
The session's emphasis on communication and equipment made it relevant to people organizing support before a disruption. It also connected evacuation planning with the challenges of remaining at home during a loss of power. Program topics.
