Marcie Roth of the World Institute on Disability invites all to embed accessibility & inclusion in EWS, ensure remediation & liability frameworks & recognize leadership of people most at risk.

Poem by Charles Rafferty, titled "The Problem with Early Warnings" People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

Is this how we make America great?

When a tsunami is headed towards our west coast, it’s nice to be warned.
