Subject: NIDRR Announces New Document - Emergency Management Research
and People With Disabilities: A Resource Guide



The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research is
pleased to announce the release of a new online publication: Emergency
Management Research and People With Disabilities: A Resource Guide.
This resource guide is the culmination of cooperative efforts by NIDRR,
the Department of Education, the Research Subcommittee of the
Interagency Coordinating Council on Emergency Preparedness and
Individuals with Disabilities (ICC), and the New Freedom Initiative
Subcommittee of the Interagency Committee on Disability Research.

The guide provides a listing and description of research projects funded
by the federal government and nonfederal entities, research
recommendations that have come out of conferences on emergency
management and disability, and a bibliography of relevant research
publications. It is our hope that this guide will facilitate the
development and implementation of a nationwide research agenda on
emergency management and people with disabilities, so that we can
develop a strong evidence base about the best ways to ensure the safety
and security of people with disabilities in emergency and disaster
situations.

This report is available on the U.S. Department of Education's Web site
at: http://www.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs, the National Center for
the Dissemination of Disability Research Web site at
http://www.ncddr.org/new/announcements.html the National Rehabilitation
Information Center (NARIC) Web site at
http://www.naric.com/public/pubs.cfm, and the Interagency Committee on
Disability Research Web site at http://www.icdr.us/.

Please feel free to spread the word.
