CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS/DISCUSSION/INITIATIVES
ITEM#77828
3:26 P.M.
Council Member Henley advised she held her monthly District 2 Forum on December 4`"and was pleased
to see how many people attended and are interested in being involved. Council Member Henley advised
many residents expressed frustration about not having meaningful opportunities to participate early in
planning process and are limited to providing input until after a plan has been made. Council Member
Henley referenced the breakout groups held during the first Interfacility Traffic Area(ITA) Transition Area
planning effort where citizens were asked what they wanted and believes it was a valuable part of the
process that should be done more often, such as during the process to update the Comprehensive Plan.
Council Member Henley advised there are a lot of concerns about the Virginia Beach National Golf Course
and shared that some residents felt blindsided when the Request for Proposal (RFP) went out before they
had an opportunity to provide input. Council Member Henley suggested since the Body has not made any
decisions, to restart the process to allow public engagement and ensure transparency. Council Member
Henley expressed she is encouraged by the number of people who are informed and want to be involved,
emphasizing it is essential to allow citizen participation early in the planning process, in a fashion that is
meaningful, so citizens feel that it is worthwhile to participate.
Mayor Dyer expressed agreement with Council Member Henley about the importance of early and
meaningful public engagement, adding, Council Members across all Districts have been actively holding
meetings and gathering input throughout the City. Mayor Dyer referenced the Virginia Beach National
Golf Course and advised after the City received unsolicited proposals, it was decided it would be best to
issue a public RFP which disclosed information on what was being considered and allow public input.
Mayor Dyer advised the City routinely provides multiple avenues for input, including District Town Hall
Meetings, collaborative sessions among Council Members and formal Public Hearings during the budget
process and planned projects. Mayor Dyer referenced the Atlantic Park project where there were 65 public
engagement sessions held prior to finalizing the term sheet. Mayor Dyer advised public input is always
welcomed and is part of the Focus Action Plan.
Council Member Schulman advised he has had diff cultprojects in his District and held Town Hall Meetings
to gather input, and with a couple more coming up, has invited staff from Public Works to attend Town Hall
Meetings to provide additional information. Council Member Schulman explained when engagement
occurs before all details are known, staff are often unable to answer every question, which can leave
residents feeling that information is being withheld, and then in contrast, when the City waits to engage
until it has all of the information, residents may feel that the process is moving forward without their input.
Council Member Schulman explained that finding the right balance between early and late public
engagement can be difficult but believes the Body works to do the best they can. Council Member Schulman
briefly shared his personal connection to Virginia Beach National Golf Course and understands how it is
important to the community. Council Member Schulman explained after the City received unsolicited
proposals, the Body held a discussion during Closed Session, as it normally does to review and discuss
questions and concerns. Council Member Schulman advised by the time the matter came back for further

(Continued)
consideration, additional interested parties had surfaced and the Body decided that the only way to bring
the issue out of Closed Session and open to the public was to release an RFP. Council Member Schulman
acknowledged that the public likely read the RFP literally as a request for proposals, when in reality it
served more as a response to the unsolicited ideas the City had already received. Council Member
Schulman explained the intent was to ensure transparency and give residents a chance to respond and
believes the Body is working hard to respond thoughtfully and responsibly.
Council Member Henley asked what the next steps are in the RFP process?
City Manager Duhaney advised staff is currently reviewing all of the RFP' and once complete, staff will
compile the information andprovide the Body apresentation during a Closed Session to obtain City Council
direction on how to proceed. City Manager Duhaney explained that any change to the existing structure of
the RFP would require a public vote by City Council, or if applicable, the Virginia Beach Development
Authority (VBDA). City Manager Duhaney advised the Body has been clear that the golf course must
remain publicly accessible and the lease terms with First Tee will be honored.

Council Member Jackson-Green advised on December 20'", he will hold the first District 7 Job Fair at the
Kempsville Recreation Center from 12:00—2:00 P.M. Council Member Jackson-Green welcomed anyone
across the City to attend and shared that the goal is to help families secure the employment they need and
show them that they are not alone. Council Member Jackson-Green advised that no tax dollars are being
used for the event and it is a community-driven effort he believes is important to help residents move
confidently into 2026

Council Member Berlucchi advised last week he had the privilege of attending the 2025 North American
Summit Against Anti-Semitism, describing it as an honor and an important opportunity to better understand
the serious and evolving threats posed by anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world. Council
Member Berlucchi advised that the summit offered valuable best practices and reaffirmed the notion that
every person has the right to live safely and with dignity in their own community. Council Member
Berlucchi believes that based on what he learned, the City is in a strong position to combat anti-Semitism
due largely to the leadership and advocacy of the Jewish community in Hampton Roads, including the
United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, the Simon Family JCC, Jewish Family Services, and related
organizations working in partnership with City leadership and federal partners. Council Member Berlucchi
advised that he intends to share insights from the summit with the community and encouraged the Body to
stand against hate and discrimination in all forms.

Mayor Dyer advised last Friday, he and City Manager Duhaney attended the U. S.Navy and Marine Corps
250 Birthday Ball and he was honored to serve as a guest speaker. Mayor Dyer expressed his pride in
the City's military presence and its significant role in national security, explaining he and Vice Mayor
Wilson attend quarterly meetings with military leaders from Naval Air Station Oceana and Joint
Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Mayor Dyer advised the City received compliments from
military leaders for being a community where service members want to live and raise their families which
was also recognized by WalletHub who declared the City as the Most Caring City in the U.S.for 2025.
Mayor Dyer credited the residents who contribute their time, talent, and resources through numerous faith-
based organizations and their commitment to caring for neighbors, the elderly and those with disabilities.

Vice Mayor Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED that she is a real estate agent affiliated with Howard Hanna
Real Estate Services ("Howard Hanna'), who's Oceanfront Office is located at 303 34`"Street Suite 102,

Howard Hanna, and the volume of transactions it handles in any given year,Howard Hanna has an interest
in numerous matters in which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal
knowledge. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for
each meeting of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual
orpotential conflict. If, during her review of the agenda for any given meeting of the Council,she identifies
a matter in which she has a 'personal interest," as defined in the Act, she will file the appropriate

interest. In order to ensure compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government
Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act'), it is Council Member Remick's practice to thoroughly review the

VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Introduction
The City of Virginia Beach (city) is located in the southeast corner of Virginia about 209 miles
south of Washington, DC and about 107 miles southeast of Richmond. The city is vulnerable to a
wide range of natural and human caused hazards, including hurricanes and tropical storms,
snowstorms, flooding, tornadoes, storm surge, explosions, and wildfires. The hazard that has
gained the most recent publicity is sea level rise, in addition to hazards and events related to
flooding. These hazards threaten the life and safety of city residents and have the potential to
damage or destroy both public and private property, disrupt the local economy, and affect the
overall quality of life of individuals who live, work, and vacation in the community.
The City of Virginia Beach Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is the procedural framework for how
the city will effectively manage the timely restoration of essential services following a disaster
or catastrophic event. Recovery initiatives are the activities that take place during and after the
disaster response phase of emergency operations. Recovery involves meeting both the short-
term and long-term needs of the community. Much of the support for effectively responding to
the community's needs and implementing recover tasks involves the coordination and
administration of federal and state disaster assistance.
This document should be applicable to any disaster, regardless of scope, size, or classification
(e.g., presidentially declared disaster), but should also be scaled appropriately.
Recovery Vision Statement
After a disaster,the City of Virginia Beach will maintain local primacy/control over post-
disaster recovery operations. Abiding by our core values and utilizing the Disaster Recovery
Framework to establish an effective recovery program,we intend to partner with the whole
community to restore community functioning, rebuild lives, revitalize impacted areas as
needed, and achieve self-sufficiency, sustainability, and resilience for the City of Virginia
Beach, its residents, and businesses in the long term.
1 October 2025
- VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Purpose
This Recovery Plan provides the framework for the City of Virginia Beach to coordinate
internally and with local, state, and federal government agencies, including non-governmental
organizations to manage recovery from the long-term consequences of a disaster. Recovery is
a key part of the National Planning Framework and is one of the five mission areas (Prevention,
Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery) that work together to achieve the National
Preparedness Goal.
The purpose of the Recovery Plan is to:
1. Pre-Disaster:
a. Provide a scalable framework that can be used to assist communities in
rebuilding after a disaster, thus improving the community's ability to recover
from future disasters.
b. Establish guidance to ensure recovery operations are coordinated across the city
and with other government agencies.
2. Post-Disaster
a. Return populations, infrastructure, and natural and cultural resources to pre-
disaster or better conditions as quickly as possible following a disaster.
The Recovery Plan is both a planning and an operations-based document that provides guidance
for the short, and long-term aspects of recovery from a major disaster. This plan provides
organizations involved in recovery with resources and operational guidance to recover from
emergencies causing a significant impact to infrastructure, housing,the economy,and the health,
social, cultural, historical, and environmental framework of the community. This plan outlines
activities and organization to promote the whole community's recovery from any incident.
Note: The DRP is designed to supplement the City of Virginia Beach Emergency Operations Plan
(EOP). This plan is not intended to replace or supersede the EOP, nor is it intended to guide
emergency operations or response activities identified in the EOP.
Scope
This plan provides guidance to the City of Virginia Beach's Department of Emergency
Management (DEM), in partnership with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management
(VDEM), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other partners in the public,
private, and non-profit sectors, following major and catastrophic disasters. It provides key tasks
for lead agencies and organizations, and for coordinating or supporting agencies helping in

Vg..... VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
disaster recovery. This plan should be used as a guiding document during the recovery phase of
an incident and includes considerations for preparedness actions to support that recovery.
The Recovery Plan is not a tactical plan or field manual. By focusing on strategic levels, this plan
provides a flexible and scalable framework for the City that provides decision-making tools to
support recovery operations during the pressure and stress of managing significant incidents.
3 October 2025
VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Planning Assumptions
• The incident may cause extensive damage, resulting in disruption to normal life support
systems and economic, physical, and social infrastructures.
• Infrastructure systems, including public and private utilities, may be severely affected in
the impacted communities.
• The city has adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and its
response and recovery model for daily emergency operations through disaster response
and recovery operations.
• It is the responsibility of officials under this plan to save lives, protect property, relieve
human suffering, sustain survivors, repair essential facilities, restore services, and
protect the environment.
• Recovery is split into phases (i.e., short-term, intermediate, and long-term).
• Community recovery is a shared process among the local government, state, and federal
governments; the business community; and non-profit entities including faith-based
organizations (FBOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), utilities, the public, the
private sector, philanthropic funders, and other regional organizations.
• During the recovery phase, some or all of this plan may be activated.
• Some incidents may have an immediate high impact on the community; therefore, the
activation of this plan may be required with little preparation and minimal notice.
• Plan implementation and decision-making policies will be based on disaster impacts,
resources, and needs.
• An effective recovery may exceed the normal capabilities of the community.
• The Commonwealth of Virginia possesses expertise and resources including specific
plans and procedures that may be utilized in relieving emergency or disaster related
problems that are beyond the capacity of the city.
• Should city and state resources prove inadequate to cope with disaster demands, the
Governor will request federal assistance under a presidential disaster declaration.
• Federal and state disaster assistance, when provided, will supplement, not substitute
for, relief provided by the city.
• Mutual aid assistance, pre-positioned contracts, mutual aid agreements (MAAs),
emergency procurements, and resources may be activated.
• Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) member organizations may
implement their own disaster relief programs.
• Depending on the disaster, the city may not be eligible for a major disaster declaration.
• Recovery operations for a major disaster declaration may differ from recovery
operations for a disaster that has not been designated with a major disaster declaration.
• Long-term recovery resources for a low-attention disaster may differ from long-term
recovery resources for a widely publicized disaster.
• A major disaster declaration does not guarantee that the city will receive individual
assistance (IA), public assistance (PA), or any other type of federal assistance.
4 October 2025

_._`*F
-.... VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
• The size and scope of the incident will determine which programs and partners will be
involved (e.g., federal assistance).
• During recovery to an incident, members of the recovery task force, as well as other
community stakeholders, will use post-disaster rebuilding as an opportunity to rethink,
redesign, and update infrastructure and will take opportunities to implement other
creative solutions to community planning, capacity building, and resiliency, while
abiding by local, state, or federal requirements.
• The EOP and other emergency plans, may be implemented prior to, or concurrent with,
activation and implementation of this plan to ensure that emergency response is
conducted, and essential services are provided to the highest degree possible.
5 October 2025
- VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Planning Process
The development of the City of Virginia Beach's Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) was led by the
Department of Emergency Management (DEM) over the period of June 2024 through
September 2025.
Discussions from internal and external meetings were used by DEM to develop a general
overview of recovery planning goals, along with after action reports (AAR) and lessons from
individuals deployed to incidents across the country.These conversations helped to determine
who needed to be involved in the recovery planning process and to set up the roles of
committee members.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PLANS AND FRAMEWORKS
The City of Virginia Beach conducts its hazard mitigation planning regionally through the
Hampton Roads Hazard Mitigation Plan. The most recent plan was completed in 2022.
Mitigation actions continue to be completed and implemented across the city to reduce the
overall risk of hazards for our residents, guests, and properties. These planning efforts, to lower
overall risk and help avoid damage in a disaster, represent the city's sustained efforts to
incorporate hazard mitigation principles and practices into the routine government activities
and functions of the City of Virginia Beach.
The City of Virginia Beach will incorporate resiliency efforts in relevant plans as appropriate. As
described in the NDRF, recovery efforts should address other areas important to a community's
vitality, such as economic development.
6 October 2025
VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Goals and Objectives
This plan provides a flexible and scalable framework for organization and decision making
before, during, and after any incident that causes a significant impact (disruption) to
infrastructure, housing,the economy, or the health, social, cultural, historical, and
environmental framework of the community. The DRP offers different potential options for
implementation, depending on the scope and scale of an incident. The DRP also provides
tactical tools for the implementation of recovery programs following emergencies.The primary
goal is to provide the city with a tool to help guide recovery throughout the entire recovery
process.
This section establishes overarching recovery goals and objectives that create the baseline for
strategies the City of Virginia Beach should consider executing in the short-term, intermediate,
and long-term phases of recovery. There is no specific time or order in which these strategies
should be considered. Emergency Management should enact them as appropriate to the
situation.

Concept of Operations - Part II Organization
RECOVERY MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
There are five different entities that can be used to manage recovery operations based on the
phase of the recovery process.
The five entities include:
• Recovery Subcommittee (Pre-Disaster)
• Recovery Support Functions (Short-term, Intermediate, and Long-term Recovery)
• Recovery Unit and Task Force (Short-term Recovery)
• Recovery Branch and Financial Recovery Unit (Intermediate Recovery)
• Recovery Organization Chart (Long-term Recovery)
Recovery Subcommittee
The City of Virginia Beach's Recovery Subcommittee is a standing subcommittee through the
Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC). The goal of the subcommittee is to offer a
coordination mechanism to oversee the recovery and reconstruction process and to serve as an
advisory committee to City of Virginia Beach personnel responsible for recovery activities.
Key Duties
• Review and provide recommendations for uniform polices to ensure effective
coordination and adherence to federal, state, and local regulations.
• Conduct regular review and maintenance of the Disaster Recovery Plan
• Help find mitigation opportunities and resources pre-disaster.
Recovery Support Functions
Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) are meant to lead the functional areas that align with the
National Disaster Framework and foster a whole community approach to recovery. Each RSF is
a distinct category to facilitate groupings of like-minded organizations with similar missions into
a more cohesive unit. RSFs support the recovery mission by facilitating problem solving,
improving access to resources, and by fostering coordination among state and federal agencies,
non-governmental partners, and stakeholders.
RSFs, commonly known as department representatives, are activated based on incident needs.
Each RSF is led by a primary city department, organization, or agency. The primary organization
could be supported by many entities depending on the objective and nature of the RSF. By
nature, emergency incidents are complex and evolving, requiring flexibility amongst RSF
representatives to work with other partners to restore community lifelines. At the discretion of

the Emergency Management Coordinator and/or designee,the RSFs may be assigned to the
most appropriate departments to meet incident specific needs and objectives.
Detailed information on specific roles and responsibilities for each RSF is available in the EOC
Operations Handbook.
The following chart provides a crosswalk of RSF primary agencies at the federal, state, and local
level to help coordinate planning and response activities across all levels of government.

Recovery Organization Chart
The Recovery Organization Chart with full recovery functions would likely be activated as an
incident transition into long-term recovery. This organization ensures that recovery goals and
tasks are accomplished and tracked in an organized and efficient manner after response
operations have ended. All positions do not need to be activated at once. The number of
recovery positions will be incident dependent.
Key Duties
• Evaluate interim and permanent needs.
• Support community repopulation in the event of displacement.
• Monitor the status of FEMA Public Assistance projects within the city as applicable.
Recovery Unit and Task Force
The Recovery Unit and Task Force can be activated under the Planning Section of the EOC
Organization Chart as incident operations transition into short-term recovery. Activation of the
Recovery Unit and Task Force will allow the city to start preparing for recovery operations and
identify needs while the incident begins to stabilize, and short-term recovery activities begin.
Key Duties
• Gather and analyze important information related to recovery operations.
• Conduct meetings with relevant departments to identify recovery goals and objectives.
• Begin development of the incident-specific Recovery Plan.
• Identify gaps or resource needs to achieve recovery goals.
Recovery Branch and Financial Recovery Unit
The Recovery Branch and Financial Recovery Unit would generally be activated as an incident
enters intermediate recovery operations. The Recovery Branch falls under the Operations
Coordination Section Chief within the EOC Organization Chart while the Financial Recovery Unit
falls under the Finance/Admin Coordination Section Chief.
Key Duties
• Implement the Disaster Finance Process and prepare documentation for
reimbursement, if applicable.
• Identify funding sources to implement and support recovery initiatives.
• Coordinate and communicate with partners.
• Evaluate community needs and work towards restoring critical services.

Additional Support Facilities & Organizations
Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD)
Each VOAD member and partner organization specializes in a particular area of disaster
operations. For example, response and/or short-term recovery VOAD members and partners
will demobilize and return to their normal daily operations once the intermediate recovery
phase begins, while other VOAD members and partners may transition their focus to long-term
recovery. Moreover, some VOAD members and partner organizations will not begin
engagement until long-term recovery period begins. It is important to note that VOAD member
and partner operational capacity can vary from incident to incident based on a variety of
factors, including financial donations and volunteer interest.
Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs)
The City of Virginia Beach, supported by the state and federal agencies, activates, and operates
Disaster Recovery Centers as needed. A Disaster Recovery Center(DRC) is a facility where relief
organizations may locate staff and provide much needed programs centrally. Programs are
provided as damage assessments and unmet needs are determined following a disaster.
Disaster assistance programs are made available as part of the declaration process and based
on need. If necessary and when large areas become impacted, one or more DRCs may be
established to assist individuals.
By default, libraries and parks and recreation centers have been pre-identified and surveyed by
FEMA to serve as DRCs.

VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Concept of Operations - Part III Recovery Strategies
The ultimate vision for the City of Virginia Beach is to rebuild and redevelop in a manner that
addresses resiliency, sustainability, and greater prosperity to secure the city's long-term
success. This vision entails actions that protect homes, businesses, and facilities damaged by
identified hazards while providing a blueprint for enhanced economical development,
recreation, and community services. The City of Virginia Beach will use the momentum
generated during the recovery, as documented in this plan, to continue addressing resiliency
into the future.
This section addresses strategies Virginia Beach should consider executing in the short-term,
intermediate, and long-term phases of recovery. Recovery phases can overlap with the
response phase and with each other. There is no specific time or order in which these
strategies should be considered. They should be enacted as appropriate to the situation.
The transition from response to recovery is a gradual process, the pace and timing of which will
depend on the circumstances of each individual incident. As response activities diminish,
recovery activities will likely increase. If the scope of the disaster dictates a response, some
level of recovery will be established to the EOC organization to manage recovery operations.

VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Plan Development and Maintenance
The development, maintenance, and implementation of the City's Disaster Recovery Plan is the
responsibility of the Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Management (DEM). The City's
approach to recovery planning is a continuous process. DEM will coordinate planning needs by
involving those agencies and individuals who have responsibility and interest in the plan,
including those with medical, access and functional needs.
This plan, along with the accompanying support annexes, will be reviewed and, if needed,
updated, on an annual basis. This plan should undergo a revision and be brought to City
Council for adoption within a year of EOP adoption.
The City's Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) will review and assist in the development
and evolution of this plan. Through the EPC, departments advise DEM of recommended
changes and suggestions for improvement. Departments are responsible for the maintenance
and revision of their assigned plans, with assistance from appropriate supporting agencies.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
During all phases of the disaster recovery plan, the City shall comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The City shall provide services in the most integrated settings
appropriate for individuals with disabilities. The City of Virginia Beach recognizes the varying
and special requirements of individuals that require and utilize the assistance of family
members, personal assistants, and/or service animals and is committed to ensuring that the
physical and mental health needs of all individuals are appropriately addressed. The City of
Virginia Beach shall make modifications to policies and procedures as reasonable modifications
to ensure individuals with disabilities have equal access to emergency operations services. The
City of Virginia Beach is also committed to ensuring individuals with disabilities are not
separated from family and assistance providers. In addition, service animals as defined by the
ADA shall be permitted and individuals who utilize and bring service animals with them to a City
emergency shelter shall not be separated or segregated from their service animal.
The following hallmark tenets are observed in all phases of emergency management:
• Self-Determination. Individuals with disabilities are the most knowledgeable about their
own needs.
• No "One-Size-Fits-All" Policy. Individuals with disabilities do not all require the same
assistance and do not all have the same needs. Many different types of disabilities affect
people in different ways. Preparations should be made for people with a variety of
functional needs, including, people who use nobility dids, require niediLdtiUll Ur
25 October 2025
VIRGINIA BEACH DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
portable medical equipment, use service animals, need information in alternate
formats, or rely on a caregiver.
• Equal Access. Individuals with disabilities must have the same access to benefit from
emergency programs, services, and activities as people without disabilities. Emergency
recovery services and programs should be designed to provide equivalent options for
people with disabilities as they do for individuals without disabilities.This includes
choices relating to short-term housing or other short-and long-term incident support
services.
• Reasonable Modifications. The City of Virginia Beach shall provide reasonable
modifications as required under the ADA for individuals with disabilities to have equal
access to emergency management programs, services and activities.
• Inclusion. Inclusion of people with various types of disabilities in planning, training, and
evaluation of programs and services will ensure that all people are given appropriate
consideration during emergencies.
• Integration. Emergency programs, services, and activities typically must be provided in
an integrated setting. The provision of services such as sheltering, information intake for
incident services, and short-term housing in integrated settings keeps people connected
to their support system and caregivers and avoids the need for disparate service
facilities.
• Physical Access. Emergency programs, services, and activities must be provided at
locations that are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Facilities typically required
to be accessible include: parking, drop-off areas, entrances and exits, security screening
areas, bathrooms, bathing facilities, sleeping areas, dining facilities, areas where medical
care or human services are provided, and paths of travel to and from and between
these areas.
• Effective Communication. Individuals with disabilities must be provided effective
communication and be able to receive the same information content and detail given to
the general public. It must also be accessible, understandable, and timely. Auxiliary aids
and services may be needed to ensure effective communication. These resources may
include pen and paper; sign language interpreters through on-site or video; and
interpretation aids for people who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing, or have speech
impairments. People who are blind, deaf-blind, or have low vision or cognitive
disabilities may need large print information or people to assist with reading and filling
out forms.
• No Charge. Individuals with disabilities may not be charged the costs of modifications or
aids to ensure equal access. Examples of accommodations provided without charge to
the individual may include ramps; cots modified to address disability-related needs; a
visual alarm; grab bars; additional storage space for medical equipment; lowered
counters or shelves; Braille and raised letter signage; a sign language interpreter; a
message board; assistance in completing forms or documents in Braille, large print or
