We focus here on Disaster Preparedness tips and recommendations for the general public, with emphasis on Persons with Disabilities in Dominica. Official Weather Forecasts from the Dominica Meteorological Service will also be relayed when warranted. We hope that members of DAPD, other persons with disabilities, as well as able-bodied persons will use of this information to enhance their personal and family Disaster Preparedness Plans.
We have also prepared a special audio section for persons who are blind or have limited vision.
