People who advocate for support of emergency registries for people with disabilities, understandably, want quick and simple solutions. Registries ignore the complexity of emergency planning and response. It is tokenistic, disingenuous, and irresponsible to urge people who may need disaster help to rely on registries. Real solutions emerge from specific, actionable, tested, and sustainable responses, rather than theoretical or fantasy-based plans.
These registry resource pages provide a deeper exploration of registries and include:
- flowchart and assessment tool for making decisions about using a registry
- compilation of opinions about registries
- background discussion on what registries are, and the types of registries used in emergency management
- research – existing and needed
- papers, presentations, and archived webinars
