To help disability-inclusive DRR become a reality, the Pacific Disability Forum, the International Disability Alliance, and CBM Global’s Inclusion Advisory Group, worked together to conduct inclusive consultations across Asia and the Pacific, to seek the perspectives, experiences and priorities of the diverse range of people with disabilities in relation to disaster preparedness, response and recovery.
Drawing upon these consultations, this report highlights the stories and experiences of people with disabilities from Asia and the Pacific in recent disasters, including COVID-19. The report also delivers findings and recommendations from the sub-regions to inform governments, the development and humanitarian sectors, and other actors involved in disaster policy, mitigation, and response.
