The Mainstreaming Disability in Disaster Management toolkit is an initiative towards the attainment of broader objective of DRM which is capacity building and institutionalization.
An initiative taken up under GOI-UNDER Disaster Risk Management Programme, this manual has been accomplished under the guidance and constant support of the DRM team in UNDP and officials of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India.
The toolkit does not replace manuals available but promotes an understanding of the main issues and concerns from the perspective of Persons with Disabilities in the context of disasters. It attempts to provide an understanding on which proper integration and mainstreaming can be carried out.
Key Issues
- Inability to move independently to safer locations.
- Death of personal care providers further enhances the risk as others may not be aware of their special vulnerabilities.
