Our Mission
Portlight Strategies’ mission is to provide disaster services to the disability community, and to foster inclusive disaster planning and response for people with all types of disabilities.

We envision a future where alerts, evacuation, shelter and recovery are accessible to all, led by the active involvement of people with disabilities and fully informed by the community as a whole.
