Interviewing Erin Taylor From Upstream Access

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Erin Taylor discussing emergency preparedness for individuals with disabilities.

This episode was a very special one in the history of the Demand Our Access podcast because it was the first time I was joined by a guest. Erin Taylor from Upstream Access joined me to discuss emergency preparedness for those of us with disabilities. I was thrilled to have Erin join me because she is one of the people doing the most to ensure those of us with disabilities are prepared when emergencies strike. Among other things, Erin and I discussed Person-Centered Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) a program developed in Australia and brought to America by Erin and Upstream Access. P-CEP is a program that certifies people in assisting disabled people in developing our individual emergency preparedness plans. Currently, I’m getting certified in P-CEP. If, after listening to the interview, I would appreciate your feedback on dedicating an episode to P-CEP.
