This is just the beginning for Peer Light. In this first iteration and launch of the platform, it features words, insights, and perspectives from CFI’s staff members. However, this platform was built to be a resource and tool for CFI’s community members, and anyone living with a disability in Washington State. Later this year, there will be three ways to participate: 1) Do a spotlight interview with CFI; 2) Choose one of our 7 community questions to answer (you can do so by text, audio, or video); and 3) Join one of our advocacy days, where a Peer Light booth will be available. Make sure to sign up for CFI’s newsletter, as we plan to announce when the platform is officially open for community participation. We can’t wait to hear your voice. —CFI https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog daily 0.75 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/1-how-do-you-learn-best monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/what-little-change-made-a-big-difference monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/3-what-does-independent-living-mean-to-you monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/4-whats-one-misconception-people-have-about-those-living-with-disabilities monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/5-whats-a-question-you-wish-people-would-stop-asking-you monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/6-whats-a-question-you-wish-people-would-ask-themselves monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/2026/8/15/7-whats-a-motto-or-mantra-that-keeps-you-going monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/jeff-liggett-quote monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://www.cfi-wa.org/peerlight-blog/jeff-liggett monthly 0.5 2026-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7aee104611a007bf6f7917/ff0a152d-356c-49f0-9e84-127d918a2999/CF+%283%29.png Peer Light - Peer Light • Jeff Liggett - Jeff Liggett Jeff is a Veteran Directed Care Specialist with an extensive Air Force military background of over 16 years.

If you have a disability or access and functional need, you may need to take additional steps to prepare for emergencies. How well you prepare and how much you practice before a disaster occurs will determine how successful you are in the recovery of a disaster. It’s important to prepare yourself based on the capabilities and limitations you believe you will have after a disaster. Keep in mind that your usual ways of support and assistance may not be available to you for some time during an evacuation and after the disaster has occurred. It’s important for you to have a personal disaster plan. You and only you know what supplies you require and what your needs are in the event of an emergency. CFI can work with you to show you how to put together an emergency preparedness plan. If you would like to learn more about individual or community emergency preparedness, please contact one of our offices.
