FREED's Brian Snyder on Community Preparedness for Natural Disasters

As we head into fire season here in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California, we decided to check back in with Brian Snyder, FREED’s own Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. Brian supports people with disabilities to develop plans for what they will do during wildfires and other widespread emergencies. In addition, Brian runs FREED’s program that supports people who have life-sustaining medical devices - such as power wheelchairs or oxygen machines - during public safety power shut-off events and other natural disasters.
