I have chosen option 1 for the discussion which emphasized on the insights that involve emergency planners with regards to people with disabilities. It can be said that the National Organization on Disability (NOD) has launched its Emergency Preparedness Initiative in the year 2001, where the main objectives is to make sure that the functional needs of the people with disabilities are properly addressed at the time of any emergency which will help in minimizing the adverse impact that it has on the individuals who have the disabilities. The emergency responders are required to make sure that there are informed decisions for being able to use the available resources during an emergency.
