This town hall will explore accessibility issues relating to weather and climate today and in the future in line with the AMS Annual Meeting theme “Living in a Changing Environment.” Hosted by the AMS Board on Representation, Accessibility, Inclusion, and Diversity (BRAID) Accessibility Committee, we ask the following questions: What accessibility issues relating to weather and climate exist today? What accessibility-related issues will emerge in our changing environment? How do the accessibility issues today inform how we approach accessibility tomorrow? This town hall will feature a panel which will discuss these three questions from both a general and a personal perspective. Following the panelists’ dialogue, we will have an open discussion about how the changing environment impacts all of us, across dis/ability identities, and how we can be cognizant of these issues moving forward. Additionally, information on the current state of accessibility-related concerns and resources in the face of natural disasters will be discussed. Everyone is welcome; come join us!
