DISABILITY AND DISASTERS

Dear All
In continuation to the earlier postings on the need of looking disability and disasters as one of the cause and consequnces as both results for deterioartion and severe vulnerabilities.  

In this direction, NIDM is going to organize a traing programme on this on National level and i am going to associate with this as a resource person.

It is the needy to address the issues and special needs of the pesons with disabilities at three stage as:
  • Before disasters
  • During Disasters and
  • After Disasters.
In this process, preparedness is the top priroity to minimize the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). This is the paradigm shift from relief centric to risk reduction and NIDM has created the the National Platform for DRR and going to do the needful in making it more effective. I have made contribution for this emphasising on the Community Based Model i.e. CBDRR and will be presenting in due course of time. 

More will be psoting on this key issue.

Looking forward

All the Best
