Portlight Strategies

Portlight Strategies is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing disaster relief and emergency management services specifically for people with disabilities. Founded in 1997, the organization focuses on ensuring that disaster response efforts are inclusive and accessible, addressing the unique medical and mobility needs of the disability community during crises. Portlight provides durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs and ramps, and advocates for policy changes to improve disaster preparedness and recovery for vulnerable populations. The organization has played a significant role in major disaster responses, including Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, and Maria, by coordinating with federal and local agencies to bridge gaps in traditional relief services.
