X-WR-CALDESC:Join the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA)\, Autism Spea
 ks and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) for a free webinar on th
 e recently passed Kevin & Avonte’s Law. This law establishes the Missing A
 mericans Alert Program to provide grants for additional training and techn
 ologies that advance the search for the missing\, freeing up valuable time
  and resources for first responders and allowing them to focus on other se
 curity concerns.\n\nWandering is a serious issue that families living with
  dementia and autism face every day. It is estimated that at least 60 perc
 ent of individuals with dementia—and a third of school-age children with d
 evelopmental disabilities—will wander at some point.  Wanderers are vulner
 able to dehydration\, weather and traffic hazards\, and individuals who pr
 ey on the defenseless. When not located within 24 hours\, the risk of seri
 ous injury or death increases substantially for those who wander.\n\nThe g
 oal of the webinar is to increase awareness of the law to stakeholders\, i
 ncluding caregivers as well as state and local entities.  Presenters will 
 give a description of how the new law works\, how grants will be made avai
 lable\, strategies used to locate persons who wander as well as tips for c
 aregivers to prevent wandering.\n\nPresenters will include:\nEvelyn Estes 
 Fortier\, Chief Counsel for Justice Programs\, United States Senate Commit
 tee on the Judiciary\nKyrianna Hoffses\, Public Relations & Media Coordina
 tor\, Project Lifesaver International\nEmily Mulligan\, Manager\, Autism R
