	            	<p itemprop="articleBody">Utter devastation. The magnitude and relentlessness of — is beyond comprehension. The lives of millions of people have been turned upside down in Texas. Louisiana is now being drenched by Harvey. We watch roads turn into waterways while dismantled houses float upon them. Residents&#8217; belongings are buried in the debris while they escape with just wet clothes clinging to their bodies. Everyone is grateful to the thousands of emergency response employees and volunteers who have extended themselves beyond imagination to rescue people they not yet know.

<p itemprop="articleBody">The devastation is multiplied many times for people with disabilities. It is much more difficult for them to escape and to secure what they need. Many must risk waiting in their homes until they are rescued. Many need to access their medications and regular medical treatments. Many rely on hired personal care assistance services for getting dressed and going to the bathroom. History will inform us how effectively emergency management teams anticipated and addressed these issues.</p>
<p itemprop="articleBody">People with disabilities are nervously anticipating what life will be like after the evacuation center. Will their modified homes still be intact? Where will anyone living on SSI or other low-income source and who lost property find affordable accessible housing? Will power wheelchairs left at home still exist and operate? Where will the replacements for damaged, lost, or stolen medical equipment come from? How quickly? How long will it take for public accessible transit systems to resume normal operation?</p>
