The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, or the Agency) is hosting an Industry Day Event on Thursday, May 18, 2023, to inform local businesses of the upcoming Accessible Travel Trailers requirement, obtain industry input, and request best practices in developing efficient processes. To ensure that survivors with disabilities and access and functional needs have access to the same level of assistance as other survivors, FEMA will provide Accessible TTs that are designed according to the requirements under the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) and Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standards (ABAAS). This is an opportunity for Industry to let Government know their capabilities or provide their professional input. For additional details please review the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW) and Accessible TTs Designs.
