Allison's Law
Allison's Law is a piece of legislation aimed at improving the safety of individuals with disabilities. It mandates that emergency responders receive training on how to effectively communicate and assist people who may have cognitive or physical challenges during emergencies.
The law was inspired by the tragic case of Allison, a young woman with autism who faced difficulties during a crisis. By ensuring that first responders are better equipped to handle such situations, Allison's Law seeks to enhance the overall safety and well-being of vulnerable populations in emergency scenarios.
