Project Description:
The people with disabilities and older persons are disproportionality vulnerable to natural disasters but efforts to prepare communities to mitigate disasters are often not designed inclusively, including (for example) preparedness communications. To address this gap, a consortium led by Leonard Cheshire including Christian Aid, the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and Kurigram Protibondhi Kallyan Sangstha (KPKS) conducted research on the experiences of persons with disabilities and older people in disaster-prone areas.
