Access and Functional Needs Resources

Following a year-long, statewide, grassroots project called Illinois Homeland Security Vision 2020, a series of town hall meetings that engaged all public safety disciplines, schools, elected officials, the private sector, and private citizens, Illinois updated its Homeland Security Strategy and established eight strategic priorities. Priority #4 is to ensure the whole community has the ability to prepare for, prevent, protect, and respond to an emergency or crisis situation and support the dissemination of crisis and disaster intelligence information to appropriate agencies to ensure the whole community has access to current, actionable information. The following information is designed to serve as a “one-stop shop” for resources to assist this process.
