Disability Rights Nebraska will continue to serve the disability community during this COVID-19 crisis. Both the Lincoln and Scottsbluff offices will be closed to the public starting Monday, March 23, 2020. We will continue to assess the situation and will reopen when we believe it is safe to do so. We are doing this for the safety of our staff, their families and the community we serve.
We will continue to provide services to current clients and respond to new requests for services by telephone, email, internet and US Mail. All trainings, public meetings, outreach events, and travel have been suspended until further notice.
