The new equipment trailer to support access and functional needs during deployment of emergency shelters is as thoughtful as it is impressive.
Many thanks to our partners at BernCo Emergency Management and Director Thomas Walmsley for today's Open House.
's Department of Emergency Management is proud to introduce its new Access and Functional Needs (AFN) trailer - a mobile resource designed to help emergency shelters better serve residents with disabilities, older adults, and others with access and functional needs.
Packed with mobility equipment, communication aids, sensory resources, privacy dividers, and more, the trailer can be deployed to shelters during emergencies, trainings, and exercises across New Mexico.
Come see it for yourself at its public debut!
