Identify some of the legal, medical and ethical issues that may arise from not providing for persons with special needs in shelters.?
Choose 5 inexpensive expedient “fixes” which can be employed in a shelter to increase accessibility?
here are three different answers so please paraphrase one good answer
answer #1
Federal civil laws, Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act and the Stafford Act provide legal requirements for mandatory integration and equal access for people with disabilities in general population shelters (Fema, 2010). Going in contravention of the above laws and statutes could have you sued for practicing discrimination based on disability, and preventing equal access to programs, services, and activities.
Universal medical care is a right for all in general population shelters. Enough Medical personnel, Medicine and equipment to take care of special needs people must be available in shelters that house general populations. Such things include refrigeration for medications, bowel and bladder management, and access to medication to support the health, mental health and function of special needs people.
It is an ethical issue to provide shelters that cater to the needs of special needs populations because it helps battle social stigma and preserve their dignity. Doing so militates against discrimination and harassment which are socially immoral behaviors directed at People with special needs. Providing shelters that take measures to cater to special needs populations show awareness, respect, and acceptance of all people regardless of abilities.
There are many quick fixes that are temporary and inexpensive to make a shelter easily accessible by even people with special needs. Some easy adjustments to make a shelter accessible with minimum commitment of time and resources include portable ramps where there are steps to access a building, making curbs cuts in entrances and sidewalks, lowering shelves and service counters, rearranging furnishing to make room, providing alarms and guide lights, making doorways wider, installing grab bars for toilet doors, designated parking spots for the disabled, and remove carpeting materials that make controlling wheelchairs difficult ( The National Network, 2015).

Answer #2
Identify some of the legal, medical and ethical issues that may arise from not providing for persons with special needs in shelters.
Shelters with little accommodation for persons with special needs aggravate medical and legal issues that include: increased injuries to individuals seeking refuge in the shelters. Secondly, legal liability towards injuries sustained due to lack of proper accessibility infrastructure within the shelters. Third, the absence of structures friendly to persons with special needs is discriminative towards persons with special needs (Horner et al. 2018). Discrimination has both legal and ethical implications on shelters as it denies services to people in vulnerable conditions. Further, shelters with limited accessibility to persons with special needs are in violation people with disabilities act from a legal perspective.
Choose 5 inexpensive expedient “fixes” which can be employed in a shelter to increase accessibility
Providing shelters that acknowledge persons with special needs requires structural planning. However, set up shelters can apply a variety of fixes that include:
One, provision of alternative entrances that have lumps.
Secondly, provision of shelter aids trained or well conversant with a variety of special needs cases.
Third, provision of documentation accessible to people with both impaired hearing and vision.
Fourth, clear provision of direction to available facilities in the shelter with signs that cater for all people with special needs (Alisan et al. 2017).
Finally, development of shelters emergency evacuation protocols that are in recognition of the persons with special needs. Provision with facilities that cater to medical devices such as wheelchairs and oxygen machines that need charging.
