Disability Inclusive Emergency Planning Forum

The City of Coffs Harbour is hosting the Disability Inclusive Emergency Planning (DIEP) Forum in partnership with The University of Sydney's Leave Nobody Behind Research Project.

The forum is an opportunity for people with disability, carers and service providers, emergency services and government stakeholders to come together and share lived experiences and ideas about disability-inclusive disaster management. 

Participants will learn about:  

•  People-centred approaches to emergency management.
•  Factors that increase risk for people with disability in emergencies.
•  Strategies to reduce risk and increase the resilience of people with disability to disaster.
•  Local community assets that can be shared before, during and after an emergency to keep people safe.
