enableUS is a unique organization that produces accessible educational events for emergency management and disability communities. enableUS partners with government agencies, non-profits, associations, NGO's, and the private sector to empower these communities to prepare and respond to emergency situations. enableUS hosts forums that encourage the exchange of ideas, information and resources to foster inclusive emergency management that takes into account the access and functional needs of all citizens.

Only together, through pragmatic partnerships, can the emergency management and disability communities break down barriers that have hampered the disaster life cycle and provide for a more adequate response to emergencies.
