About the Pandemic Response Toolkit:

The NY Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation is pleased to be the recipient of a New York Community Trust grant to create a Pandemic Response Toolkit for providers of services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in the New York City region.

Although the pandemic was the impetus for the creation of the website, the resources are relevant to any disaster preparedness and business continuity planning.

All webinar offerings, website/toolkit and associated resources were made available with generous funding from The New York Community Trust.
