Access
America for People with Disabilities
July 26, 2000, marked the 10th anniversary of the signing of the
Americans with Disabilities Act. In celebration of this milestone,
the Presidential Task
Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities created this
site to provide one-stop online access to resources, services, and
information available throughout the federal government.

Saving
People, Property - and Cows - in Tillamook County
A 1996
deluge left Tillamook County, Oregon, devastated, with $53 million
in uncompensated losses, 700 dairy cows killed, families displaced,
homes and businesses destroyed. When more than 9 inches of rain
fell on Thanksgiving Day, 1999, the county was prepared, thanks
to motivated people, a partnership, and an amazingly helpful web-based
technology called Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Cool
Calculator
If you
live in Washington State and can get to a computer with an Internet
connection, you can find out if your family might be eligible to
receive food assistance, help with childcare, medical benefits or
cash assistance. This really cool site calculates basic information
about family members and income. When you've answered the questions,
a map pops up to help you locate the community service office nearest
you.
