Building disaster resilience is crucial for all of us, especially for community members living with disabilities. According to a recent UNDRR article, only 8% of people with disabilities reported that current Disaster Risk Reduction plans address their needs. This is a significant concern that needs to be addressed as a priority Experience shows that people with disabilities and their carers are proactive in wanting to have plans in place that provide a roadmap for their needs and how they can help emergency services in times of emergency. Emergency services want to know where the people that need assistance are and what is the plan to help them. UNDRR's initiative provides a great way for all levels of government and business in Australia to understand where we stand against this international standard and how we can provide confidence to people with disabilities and a roadmap for emergency services. Together, we can make a difference and build prepared and resilient communities! Let's work towards improving our inclusion of disability needs in Disaster Risk Reduction plans. https://lnkd.in/gKV3fsuD
