Overview

Emergencies can deepen existing inequalities when communication, evacuation, relief and recovery systems are not accessible. Inclusive Growth promotes preparedness and response approaches that include women and youth with disabilities throughout the emergency cycle.

What this area covers

• Inclusive preparedness and risk communication
• Accessible emergency information
• Participation in preparedness planning
• Inclusive response and recovery

Our approach

1. 1Identify accessibility and participation barriers before emergencies occur.
2. 2Promote accessible communication and preparedness information.
3. 3Include people with lived experience in planning and decision-making.
4. 4Support recovery approaches that reduce rather than reproduce exclusion.
