Despite civil rights protections by federal statute prohibiting unnecessary institutionalization (and despite the specific prohibition against waiving this protection during disasters), disaster-impacted people with disabilities are frequently institutionalized during and after disasters. As a result, health care professionals are being asked to help prevent the unnecessary institutionalization of disaster-impacted people with disabilities. With that in mind, this course reviews the National Council on Disability's (NCD) report, Preserving Our Freedom: Ending Institutionalization of People with Disabilities During and After Disasters, to provide health care professionals with a resource that may be used to help prevent the institutionalization of people with disabilities during and after disasters.
