Disability inclusion and disasters

Listening to people with disability and learning from lived experience is essential to understanding and removing the barriers that increase risk and reduce inclusion in disasters.

This collection brings together trusted research, guidance, tools and implementation resources to support disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction (DIDRR) and disability-inclusive emergency management (DIEM) in policy and practice.

The collection includes the DIEM Toolkit, open-access eLearning, practical action resources, examples from practice, planning tools and related policy and evidence resources. These materials are designed to support governments, emergency services, disability and community organisations, and their partners to strengthen inclusive planning, build strategic partnerships, improve accessible resourcing, and take staged, practical action across preparedness, response and recovery.
