Speak Preparedness in Every Language
Americans speak a wide variety of languages, including Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and many others. The resources below will give Americans access to preparedness and disaster information in many languages.
We welcome suggestions for the Portal! If you find a good preparedness tool, please email it to citizencorps@dhs.gov.
We encourage the use of websites that are accessible to people with access and functional needs. For guidance on creating Section 508 compliant online materials refer to the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards. For further information on emergency management and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, please review this webinar from the Citizen Corps Community Preparedness Webinar Series.
