Event Details
FEMA is committed to providing meaningful access to individuals with limited English proficiency eligible to receive benefits or services during major disasters. To be successful, FEMA components and FEMA recipients must be equipped with the knowledge, tools, and resources to ensure compliance with the Language Access Policy.
In line with FEMA’s commitment to equity, which is focused on the fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including those from underserved communities, FEMA’s Office of Equal Rights — in coordination with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties — will host webinars providing technical assistance on language access and information about FEMA’s Language Access Policy.
During registration, attendees will have the option to submit questions to the panelists prior to the event. Reasonable accommodations can also be requested through the registration form.
