Description: A project funded under the joint State/Commonwealth Natural Disaster Resilience Program Preparedness for natural disasters saves lives and minimizes injury. People with disabilities are twice as likely to die or be injured during natural disasters than the general population. One in five people in NSW live with disability. Individuals with disability are more likely to be socially isolated and have nobody to turn to in times of emergencies. Risk is further increased due to a fragmented system where responsibility to address the unique needs and capabilities of people with disabilities in disasters is unclear.
