PUBLIC COMMENT: Your participation during the public comment period
provides an opportunity for us to hear from you--individuals,
businesses, providers, educators, parents and advocates. Your comments
are important in bringing to the Council's attention issues and
priorities of the disability community. For the May 12 Council meeting,
NCD will designate its half-hour of public comment exclusively for
receiving information for its upcoming report that examines the impact
of extreme weather events and environmental injustice on people with
disabilities. In order to develop NCD's recommendations to
policymakers, NCD invites you to share your insights in response to the
following questions:
1. What are the barriers to accessing federal or state funding
after a disaster? What needs to be improved?
2. With the increase of extreme weather events, what are the unique
obstacles people with disabilities face in planning, response and
recovery from these events?
3. What unforeseen obstacles will the disability community need to
address because of the increase of extreme weather events?
Recommendations on how those obstacles can be mitigated?
4. What role can the federal government play to mitigate the impact
of extreme weather events on people with disabilities?
[[Page 25678]]
5. What impact has the lack of environmental justice had on
communities, specifically, the prevalence of disability? Can you
provide specific instances of the impact to these marginalized
communities? (e.g. Territories and American Indian/Alaskan Native
lands)
Because of the virtual setting, there will be a hybrid option for
submitting public comment. The Council is soliciting public comment by
email or via video or audio over Zoom. Emailed public comment
submissions will be reviewed during the meeting and delivered to
members of the Council at its conclusion. You can also present public
comment during the session by clicking the ``Hand Raise'' button in
Zoom and waiting to be called on. If you plan to present over Zoom,
please provide advance notice. To provide comments or notice to present
public comment, please send an email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#bcecc9ded0d5dfffd3d1d1d9d2c8fcd2dfd892dbd3ca"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fbab8e99979298b89496969e958fbb95989fd59c948d">[email protected]</span></a> with the
