Statements
People whose health, both mental and physical, makes them more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This can be due disruptions to their medical care during weather emergencies. In addition, alerts and instructions may not be accessible for people with certain disabilities, such as hearing loss, vision loss, or some cognitive disabilities. People with limited mobility may also have a harder time getting to safety or accessing medical care or adaptive measures such as storm shelters.
