Carers Queensland is working with emergency service agencies to improve disaster response for people with disability. Our Get Ready, Plan Ahead workshops, in conjunction with the Queensland Disability Network (QDN) aim to reduce disaster risk by including people with disability in disaster planning processes. By working closely with key groups, we are building stronger connections for people with disability to support themselves in an emergency.
In this episode, we hear from two workshop participants who share what they learned and how they developed their own Person-Centred Emergency Plans, including the steps they have taken to better prepare for emergencies in their home environment.
