Pathways MN Emergency Preparedness Family Support Center Planning Grant The Purpose of this Project: To plan with our Partners, a proposed multi agency Pathways Emergency Preparedness One-Stop Center [Center] in North Minneapolis. 1. The proposed Center will provide to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, the information and in-depth training they need to develop their own emergency preparedness plan, for a variety of emergency events such as H1N1 Pandemic and winter storms. 2. The goal of the project is through the proposed Center, individuals with developmental disabilities and their families will have the supports and training they need remain intact and self sufficient during an emergency event. 3. At the end of the planning year, an implementation plan will be written for a One-Stop Center that will provide in depth training and support to at least 60 individuals with developmental disabilities and their families annually. Statement of Need: In Minnesota, disabled individuals residing in nursing homes or who have a behavioral disability are included as a special population in the State of Minnesota’s Healthcare System Preparedness Program. Whereas individuals with developmental disabilities, including those residing in group homes or ICF/MR’s, or receiving services at Day Treatment and Training Centers and other support services are not included in Minnesota Plan. And currently there is no training or supports for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to develop their own emergency preparedness plans. Goal 1: Develop and Implement this project’s requirements outline in the Request For Proposals by ADD: At the end of the planning year, the Center’s Partners and IPSII Inc. will write an Implementation Plan for a One-Stop Family Support Center. Goal 2: Develop Alpha Emergency Plan trainings Through the alpha testing of 30 individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in our planning, we will have data on the best practice strategies to train at least 60 individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, ‘how to’ develop and implement their own plan in the implementation years. Goal 3: Quality Assurance Ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities and their families have a real voice in the all aspects of this project. Report results to Pathways Youth Center Advisory Committee and ADD as directed. Center's Planning Committee include:
