This may partly stem from the \u201cbetter dead than disabled\u201d ethos.

The difficulties thrown at other people are not yours.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Anita Cameron,<a href=\"https:\/\/disasterstrategies.org\/juneteenth-congressional-briefing-on-inequality-disproportionate-impacts-of-covid-response\/\"> testifying<\/a> at the 2023 Juneteenth Congressional Briefing on Inequality and Disproportionate Impacts of Covid Response on Black Disabled Communities, said\u00a0 \u201cwhen we have disasters what happens?

In some cases, this was due\u00a0 to fact that the American Red Cross had decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.goucher.edu\/verge\/files\/2016\/12\/Molly_Walsh-Warder.pdf\">reject<\/a> people with disabilities, on the basis that they did not have enough supplies to care for them along with everyone else.

At the extreme of the extreme end, one hospital dealt with the hurdles of evacuating patients with limited mobility by giving lethal injections to a minimum of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/08\/30\/magazine\/30doctors.html\"> seventeen individuals.<\/a> Later, Louisiana responded by giving healthcare providers broad immunity for actions taken during crisis situations.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Disaster preparedness and disaster relief as well as making sure that civil rights are not lost in the shuffle are disability issues.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/disasterstrategies.org\/\">The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies<\/a> (The Partnership) is the only U.S. disability-led organization with a focused mission of\u00a0equity for people with disabilities and people with access and functional needs throughout all planning, programs, services and procedures before, during and after disasters and emergencies. As stated on its website, \u201cThe Partnership prioritizes equity, access, disability rights, disability justice, and full inclusion \u2026[in disasters]\u2026; prevention, planning, response, recovery and mitigation must start with and be led by multiply marginalized disabled people who are the most disproportionately impacted.\u201d The Partnership strives to influence disaster policies and programs, so they work for all.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A resource hub for all matters related to people with disabilities throughout all phases of disasters and emergencies, the Partnership works with communities, organizations, corporations, and governments achieve and maintain equity and full inclusion in all phases of disaster management and recovery.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Partnership\u2019s Disability &amp; Disaster Hotline provides information, referrals, guidance, technical assistance and resources to people with disabilities, families, allies, and organizations assisting disaster impacted individuals with disabilities and others seeking assistance with immediate and urgent disaster-related needs.
