Resilience challenge

Some people are more at risk in an emergency situation and need extra preparation and support to make sure they are safe.

Resilience goals

Emergency plans are developed with people with disability and other people at risk in shock events.

State and local emergency planning frameworks have a coordinated, personcentred and inclusive approach that responds to people’s needs.

Local emergency plans incorporate the needs and experiences of people with disability.

Action pathways

1. Advocate for all levels of government to support the implementation of the disability inclusive disaster risk reduction framework and toolkit. 
2. Develop a business case for the person-centred emergency preparedness (P-CEP) tool and facilitator training to be sustainability funded and delivered across local councils and community services organisations. 
3. Promote the P-CEP peer leadership program and other resources including the Carers NSW household readiness toolkit66 to build the capacity of community members to support family and friends to be better prepared. 
4. Promote information sharing between the NDIS and councils. Include up-to-date information on how many people with disability live in a local area to inform emergency response planning. 
5. Advocate for diverse perspectives to be included in Local Emergency Management Committee decisions and plans, including people with disability, First Nations people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. 
6. Advocate for co-designed emergency planning with social housing tenants.
