Emergency Preparedness Symposium Session 4: Rehearsal to Readiness: Centering Accessibility in Arts-Based Emergency Planning
In this closing session, Rehearsal to Readiness: Centering Accessibility in Arts-Based Emergency Planning, Jessica Wallach from Story Tapestries leads a dynamic, hands-on exploration of what it truly means to center accessibility in emergency preparedness. Through embodied reflection, real-world examples, and creative tools drawn from the arts, participants will rethink emergency planning not as a static checklist, but as a responsive process rooted in physical awareness, access needs, and intentional practice.
This session isn’t just about compliance — it’s about care, communication, and culture change.
