Colorado's Access and Functional Needs Team is happy to announce an exciting opportunity to participate in the 2025 Access and Functional Needs (AFN) Conference, Getting it Right: A “Plan With” Approach. Using the CMIST Resource Memory Tool (pictured at the top) as a reminder for the core services and resources an individual might need in order to function before, during, and after a disaster. This year we are focusing on the “T” in CMIST, Transportation Resources. This resource is critical for anyone in a disaster, and can range from paratransit, public transportation, rideshare platforms, shuttle services, and even personal vehicles (including friends, family, and neighbor support. For more information about CMIST, please visit our CMIST Resources Flyer. If you or your organization offers “T” Transportation resources that can support Emergency Management before, during, and after a disaster, we hope to have you join us!
