The bigger picture: DIDRR

Persons with disabilities are often disproportionally affected by disasters and have different and uneven levels of resilience and capacity to recover.

NDIS Providers are responsible for ensuring the people with disability they support are fully included and meaningfully participate in all activities that impact them. This is especially relevant to emergencies and disasters, as people with disability have been found to be among those most affected by natural disasters.

Read our fact sheet about Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DIDRR), why it is important, and how it relates to the NDIS Practice Standard for Emergency and Disaster Management.
