About the Project
The Texas State Independent Living Council (TXSILC) has been awarded funding to lead a collaborative effort with Centers for Independent Living (CILs), disability organizations, and emergency management partners to strengthen disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for Texans with disabilities. People with disabilities are disproportionately impacted during disasters, and this project will ensure their voices, needs, and solutions are at the center of planning. Through a peer-led, consumer-informed model—including a “train the trainer” approach—we will build tools, systems, and networks that increase safety, equity, and resiliency across the Gulf Coast region.
