Floods, fires and other climate related crises are becoming more regular occurrences. Yet, when we talk about disaster preparedness and community resilience, disability is often overlooked or misrepresented.
We gathered experts to spark the discussion into disability and natural disasters. Tackling issues of inclusion, representation and empowerment, our speakers shared their experiences and insights on this important topic, encouraging further discussion within the wider community.
