Floods, fires and other climate related crises are becoming more regular occurrences. Yet, when we talk about disaster preparedness and community resilience, disability is often overlooked or misrepresented.
Join us as we gather experts to open up the discussion into disability and natural disasters. Tackling issues of inclusion, representation and empowerment; our speakers will share their experiences and insights on this important topic, encouraging further discussion within the wider community.
Jointly hosted by the Australian Human Rights Institute and the Disability Innovation Institute UNSW.
This hybrid event will feature closed captions online and AUSLAN interpreters. A recording and transcript will be made available after the event.
